  Postgame Shot Of Joe: Bats Back From Vacation

  July 6, 2011 at 4:01 pm 1 comment

  Twelve runs on 14 hits and three homers for the good guys today. That’s like a four-game home series all in one afternoon! One can only hope Evan Longoria’s homer and three hits, plus the defensive sparklers, launch something sustainable. Before the game on WDAE-AM 620, Joe Maddon was peppered with [...]

  Postgame Shot Of Joe: Tip O’ The Cap To Wade Davis

  June 25, 2011 at 10:35 pm 4 comments

  There was a lot to like about this win. Whether it was the Magic of Kotch and his three hits and solid glove or Bossman being such a force that the ‘Stros intentionally walked him. Joe can’t remember the last time that happened. But Joe has to tip his cap [...]

  Postgame Shot Of Joe: Offense Still Smells

  June 17, 2011 at 9:45 pm 12 comments

  Yes, the Rays won. Yes, Kelly Shoppach (!) of all people gave the Rays a two-run lead by leading off the bottom of the third. But the offense still stunk out loud. Half of the Rays eight hits came in the last two at-bats. Good thing the Rays were playing [...]

  No, Joe’s not drunk. He actually wrote the headline above stone sober. Even Joe has a hard time believing he wrote that headline, but it’s true. It was Kelly Shoppach that likely had the key hit of the game, a two-run single to left that plated Bossman and SRod. It gave the [...]

  Postgame Shot Of Joe: Cobb Punches Sonny’s Ticket To Bullpen

  If there was any debate that Sonny should not see another start in a Rays uniform again short of an outbreak of the Ebola virus, rookie Alex Cobb slammed the door shut on this (not so much of a) debate. The rook was solid, on the road no less, against [...]

  Postgame Shot Of Joe: Bullpen Proves Human Again

  May 25, 2011 at 12:10 am 1 comment

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, Joe knows a bullpen is not perfect. And sans son-in-law last year, the Rays bullpen was almost just about that before this series: perfect. So it was jolting to Joe when he saw Alex Avila belt a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth off César [...]
