ALDS Game 2 GDT: Rock the Trop!
Go Rays!
My five favorite pitches from Drew Rasmussen’s near no-no
In case you were sleeping under a rock, Drew Rasmussen gave the Yankees their worst performance in playoff history by nearly no-hitting them in Game 1 of the ALDS, including a (for them) record 23 swinging strikes, a feat all the more remarkable given that he didn’t pick up his tenth until the top of […]
ALDS Game Two Preview: Must win for the Yankees
The Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees are back at it tonight for the second game of the American League Division Series. The two teams met up on Saturday for an epic pitcher’s duel. The Rays won thanks to a masterful performance from Drew Rasmussen, who came just four outs shy of throwing the […]
We all bow to Drew Rasmussen: Rays 1, Yankees 0
Like me, no doubt, you feel as though you just had the most wonderful, awful, stressful and joyous 2.5 hours of your baseball fan life. The actual recap can be quick. The Rays got five hits. Kudos to Palacios and Hicks for hitting doubles, both of which bounced off the right-center wall just feet away […]
ALDS Game 1 GDT: Troptober Begins
Go Rays!
WC Game 3 GDT: All Eyes on Atlanta
Go Rays!
ARE WE HAVING FUN YET
I love the film Moneyball for a lot of reasons, but one part of the film really resonates now. If you recall, Billy Beane’s life was baseball — once as a player and, as the movie starts, as the general manager for the Athletics. But he doesn’t watch the games. At first pitch, he might […]
Wild Card Day 2 GDT: Home Field Advantage really helps, huh?

Freddy Peralta named AL Pitcher of the Month – September 2026
Right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta has been named American League (AL) Pitcher of the Month for September. This marks the second time a Rays pitcher has won the award this season, joining Drew Rasmussen’s award in June. It is also the third time in Peralta’s career he has been named Pitcher of the Month, winning two […]

Tampa Bay 98ers – Rays 3, Phillies 7
Every baseball season’s ending is bitter sweet. It’s a game that comes into our homes nightly for all summer. It’s a constant that we can count on, that can entertain and frustrate in oftentimes equal measures. It’s there for social times, for after work chilling times, heck also for at work times. It’s there to […]
Rays GDT: Y’all ready for the postseason?
Go Rays!

Fortydelphia: Rays 2, Phillies 0
The Rays stayed healthy in a game that didn’t matter to them — and won. That’s about all you can ask for at the end of the regular season post-clinching. And they looked good doing it, sporting the sweet new Tampa Bay road grays. Jonny DeLuca got the jump on Phillies lefty Christopher Sanchez (‘fOrMeR […]
“Who are these guys?” Introducing the Rays to a postseason crowd
The Tampa Bay Rays are one of the most exciting teams in baseball and when they’re at their best, the on field action cannot be matched as they hit for power, constantly put the ball in play, and are always a threat to swipe a base. As the 2026 season comes to a close, the […]
Rays GDT: Rays face maybe their biggest miss in Christopher Sanchez
Go Rays!
Is it October yet?: Rays 4, Yankees 6
The bad news? The Rays lost again. The good news? Well, it didn’t matter and they leave the Bronx healthy with three games remaining in the regular season. At the end of the day, what really matters at this point in the season is that the Rays stay healthy and rest up for October. On […]
Rays GDT: Time to start coasting
Go Rays!
Predicting a Postseason Pitching Staff
With the benefit of the first-round bye, the Rays will have an opportunity to set their rotation exactly as they want it for the ALDS. A postseason rotation really only needs to have three true starting pitchers given the abundance of off days within and bookending a series. The Rays will almost certainly begin their […]
Oh No, The Rays Lost. Anyway… Rays 2, Yankees 9
Watching your favorite team lose to one of your least favorite teams is never truly enjoyable, but it goes down a bit easier when the regular season prize is already in the bag. The only downside to this loss is the Rays must now win out to get to 100 wins on the season, but […]

Dress For Success: Tampa Bay Rays Are AL East Champions
The Tampa Bay Rays were terrible houseguests Tuesday night. They showed up at Yankee Stadium wearing their brand-new Road Gray uniforms, refused to give the Yankees much at the plate, and then helped themselves to the American League East title. Drew Rasmussen carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning, Yandy Díaz drove in four runs, and Tampa […]
Rays’ bats fall silent in the Bronx: Yankees 2, Rays 0
In true “end-of-the-season battle of the titans” fashion, the Rays were going to be facing the Yankees in a Tuesday doubleheader. Both teams had secured their trip to the postseason, but the Rays really wanted to finally lock down their place as the AL East champions without question. To get the job done, they had […]
