The Fourth of July was an ugly one at Yankee Stadium. Given a spot start due to Carlos Rodón’s injury, Brendan Beck got absolutely walloped by Minnesota, giving up three homers to put the Yankees in a quick 5-0 hole by the middle of the second. The offense didn’t do much in response, the bullpen […]
Is it me, or does it feel like the Rays almost never play well on holidays? Your gut feeling would be right, as Tampa Bay is now *checks notes* 10-18 on Independence Day. The Rays used some of their big pyrotechnics early, as the hottest bat in the sport, Junior Caminero, homered AGAIN in the […]
Go Rays!
TONIGHT’S GAME: The Houston Astros (43-47) will play host to the top team in the AL, the Tampa Bay Rays (52-33), for a July 4th matchup tonight at Daikin Park. Astros ace RHP Hunter Brown (1-0, 1.78 ERA) will get the start for Houston as he looks to snap the Astros two-game losing streak and […]
In one of four roster moves made before Saturday’s game against the Rays, the Astros optioned struggling outfielders Jake Meyers and Joey Loperfido to Triple-A Sugar Land. Meyers, a Gold Glove finalist in 2024 and the Astros’ third longest tenured position player, went hitless in Friday’s 3-1 loss to the Rays, dropping his batting average […]
All-Star rosters will be announced this evening, and the Home Run Derby is starting to take shape. So far, Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero is the only player to confirm their participation, but Hunter Goodman was seen taking batting practice from his dad yesterday: Does this mean Goodman is preparing to participate in […]
The Yankees at long last broke their losing streak, ending it at seven games after putting up five runs for the first time since June 19th against the Reds. The Twins had their chances to match them, but New York’s pitching held them in check with only Fernando Cruz getting himself into some trouble walking […]
In the middle of June, you would have had a hard time convincing anyone, let alone Katie Bueller, the Rays were playing well. Even tonight, after the 3-1 victory that gave the Rays nine straight wins, she was still in total shock: The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, and dweebies in Tampa Bay […]
Go Rays!
On Wednesday, Just Baseball released its American League and National League Players of the Month for June, and it should come as no surprise that the Tampa Bay Rays swept the AL honors. Third baseman Junior Caminero was named Just Baseball’s American League Player of the Month, while right-hander Drew Rasmussen earned American League Pitcher […] The post Drew Rasmussen Continues To Be MLB’s Most Underrated Starter appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Royals just can’t beat the AL East. They also can’t stop getting hurt. And they can’t stop giving up home runs to Junior Caminero, either. Or, well, they can now that they’re done playing the Rays for the year. I hope. Later, Jeremy is joined by Brian Page of Rapsodo to talk about all […]
After running their losing streak to seven games on Wednesday, the Yankees, and us frankly, got some respite on Thursday with an off day. Of course, something still ended up going wrong yesterday, but they at least didn’t put up another tally in the loss column. While the Yankees weren’t in action yesterday, other teams […]
If you would’ve told me the Rays would convincingly sweep a team on the road two weeks ago after what I saw in person at Dodger Stadium, I’d hedge your bet. The Rays, on their first west coast swing of the season, went 1-5 and lost three straight games in one-run fashion. and in the […]
In this week’s MLB Mailbag, we’ll take questions on the White Sox’ approach to the trade deadline, which underachieving clubs are most in need of a rebuild, Bobby Witt Jr.‘s contract, some potential Giants trade scenarios and more. Thanks to everyone who submitted questions. Let’s begin! Dennis asks: With a somewhat need for a vet […]
There must be a glitch in the Matrix because for the second time this week, Carter Jensen hit a leadoff home run to get his team up early, only for the Royals to fall to the Rays. This time Tampa won 5-2. Let’s take a look at that Carter jack, though, shall we? That was […]
Despite having been a fan for nearly 30 years, this is quite possibly the most painful season I’ve ever watched. I think I was shielded a bit during the aughts by my childish belief that the Royals could go on a 15-game winning streak at any moment. I used to believe that pitcher ERAs entering […]
Following the hiring of Corey Dickerson this offseason — who has received significant buy-in from the Rays outfielders this season — and by having Kevin Kiermaier in camp during Spring Training, the Rays outfield has quietly become one of the better defensive groups in baseball. They have taken an unconventional approach to doing so as […]
Hello friends! For this week’s Rays Reacts poll we asked how you felt about Junior Caminero returning to the Home Run Derby after his second place showing in 2025, where he was unable to match Cal Raleigh’s 18 homeruns in the final round, topping out at 15 at Atlanta’s Truist Park after belting 8 to […]
What has transpired in the last week or so, in terms of American League East baseball, cannot happen again. After play concluded on Wednesday, the Yankees had turned in seven consecutive losses, while the Rays won seven consecutive contests, flipping the standings completely. What was a 3.5 game division lead at the start of this […]
Junior Caminero is at it again. The Rays’ third baseman took Seth Lugo deep in the first inning on Wednesday, giving him a home run in six consecutive games. Caminero is just two home runs behind Yordan Alvarez for the lead in the American League. 1. Swanson’s massive game The Cubs piled up 23 runs […]
It’s the middle game of a three-game series in Kansas City, with the Rays looking to secure the series win after last night’s 10-4 win over the Royals. Shane McClanahan takes the mound tonight against Seth Lugo, who allowed seven runs to the Rays last week inside of Tropicana Field. Jonathan Aranda singled with one […]
Junior Caminero is really good at hitting home runs. At the moment he does it every night. Seth Lugo got a strikeout to start the game before Jonathan Aranda singled in front of Caminero. Junior then smashed the first pitch deep to left and gone to get Tampa Bay an immediate two run lead. That […]
Go Rays!
After a 13-14 June, it looks like the Royals main focus is now moving to 2027. But for today, we can still enjoy watching some baseball. Old friend Jose Cuas is back pitching for KC for the first time since 2023 and Randy Dobnak has arrived with him. Jac Caglianone will be back in right […]
