In the top of the ninth inning of today’s loss to the Blue Jays, Yunel Escobar hit a 2-run home run that pulled the Rays within two. But it is what he did after the home run that left some people angry. Escobar, as he was crossing home plate, made [...]
Joe is back with his postgame thoughts … Josh Lueke walked three batters in the seventh today and somehow Joe Maddon thought was in the best interest of the Rays to let him keep struggling and face Edwin Encarnacion with the bases loaded. Bases cleared. Game over. Bad decision. Reboot the [...]

Earlier we showed you a blown call in which it Ben Zobrist clearly tagged a runner before he reached second base. That play cost the Rays a run and the normally mild-mannered Zobrist was visibly upset. Well, the very next inning, Zobrist scored on an Evan Longoria double, and after [...]

With one out in the second inning, Henry Blanco hit a ball into the leftfield corner. Sam Fuld made a strong throw back to the infield that appeared to easily beat Blanco to the bag. But after Ben Zobrist tagged Blanco, umpire CB Buckner inexplicably called Blanco safe. And it [...]

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. RAYS 3, Orioles 1 (boxscore) THE GOOD: Matt Moore. Sunday was perfect, albeit odd, Matt Moore. His fastball was only 92-93 most of the day. But [...]
We’ve got the highlights you won’t see on SportsCenter…
Joe is back with his postgame thoughts… Thank you, Matt Moore, the ace of the Rays. Well, maybe Moore is Ace II along with Ace I Alex Cobb? Or is it the other way around? Who cares, they both pitch for the Rays and are thus far dynamite in 2013. [...]
