We are one-third of the way through the season. Let’s take a look at how some of the Rays hitters are performing in terms of wOBA. If you are not familiar with wOBA, just think OPS, but better (check this link for a quick explanation). Notes on the table are [...]

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. THE GOOD: BJ Upton. He returned from his 2-day hiatus and promptly hit a triple and it was even better seeing him pull the ball to [...]
