Latest news and updates about the Rays
With the news that Gavin Lux has had another setback in his recovery from several injuries to begin the 2026 season, the Rays will be without their anticipated second baseman for the foreseeable future. This is unfortunate for Lux as he’s in a contract year and his injuries will almost certainly impact his earning potential […]
If Tampa Bay Rays owner Patrick Zalupski’s Plan B now that the city of Tampa and Hillsborough County won’t vote on stadium subsidies by the end of this legislative session is to go get state money first and figure out the rest later, uh, he may need a Plan C: Sen. Ed Hooper, a Clearwater Republican […]
The Yankees broke their losing streak on Tuesday, besting Baltimore 6-2 thanks to a five-run third inning. Trent Grisham punctuated the rally with a three-run blast off of Trevor Rogers, who has looked nowhere close to the dominant form he displayed for the O’s in 2025. The rest of the league was back in action […]
Rays 7 Jays 6 (10 innings) The nice part about that game was the come back. The Jays were down 5-0. We were continuously told they would never score again. And then they got five runs in the seven to tie things up. It was a fun game to watch. In the seventh: Patrick Corbin […]
Jays are facing a tough pitcher tonight. Hopefully they will be able to get some hits off him. But Patrick Corbin has been pretty good too. Tonight’s lineups: Today’s Lineups RAYS BLUE JAYS Yandy Diaz – DH George Springer – DH Jonathan Aranda – 1B Myles Straw – RF Junior Caminero – 3B Vladimir Guerrero […]
Go Rays!
Baseball, especially the Rays brand of baseball, relies on doing all the little things well. Baseball is also a very luck dependent sport. But, doing the little things can help manufacture some luck. Perhaps no player exemplifies that more than Chandler Simpson. Simpson got things started right away, with a comebacker to Gausman, who was […]
Rays 8 Blue Jays 5 Generally, if one player drives in five runs, his team wins. But not today. Andrés Giménez homered in the first (three run shot) and the seventh (two runs), but we also gave up a bunch of runs. Things went bad for Kevin Gausman right from the start. Chandler Simpson bounced […]
I’d prefer to not talk about the entire weekend as it pertains to baseball. The Yankees got utterly spanked in Milwaukee, suffering their second sweep of the season. For that reason alone there was very little to cheer about the past few days. But to make it worse, the godforsaken Tampa Bay Rays continued their […]
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms in DRBland. The Rays were in Boston, where everyone was wearing a touch of pink to wrap up the weekend series. The Rays were first in the AL East by a wee little percentage point and hoping to push ahead and claim it properly this week. To deal […]
Go Rays!
Go Rays!
UPDATE: The game has been postponed and will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on July 17. This may be stating the obvious, but weather will be a factor in this game, folks. (It’s sunny here in Seattle!) The Sox and Rays will either play through some serious bouts of rain this […]
Weather will play a factor this afternoon at Fenway Park as the Rays and Red Sox try to play game three of a four game game set at 4:10pm. As of 12:30pm, the game is still on per Chris Cotillo: However, the outlook does not look promising. Below is a simulated radar from the HRRR […]
The Yankees opened their series with the Brewers on a low-note, getting shutout by Jacob Misiorowski for six innings while Max Fried dropped his worst start of the season on the other side. Unfortunately, Spencer Jones’ MLB debut was overshadowed by the team at large struggling on Friday, collecting just three hits on the night. […]
The Rays had an early opening against Connelly Early. Yes, the pun was sitting right there, and unfortunately so were three Tampa Bay baserunners in the third inning that got stranded on the best opportunity to score a run Friday night. Tampa Bay opened quietly against Early. Yandy Díaz struck out after an ABS challenge […]
Let’s do a little dive into what I think was the most important frame of the entire ballgame. Top of the third inning, things could have gone off the rails and fast. Nick Fortes leads off with an infield single—advancing to second on a balk by Connelly Early. Taylor Walls loops a single to left […]
Go Rays!
It was a busy day in Yankee land, as the Bombers won an early afternoon game against the Rangers, while also calling up one of the franchise’s more exciting prospects in Spencer Jones. It was an all around good win against Texas, as the Yanks were able to maintain their narrow lead in the East. […]
I had a feeling this game wasn’t going to go the Sox way before it even started. To be fair, that isn’t saying much— most games haven’t gone the Sox way this year! But I knew the vibes would be off as soon as this came across the timeline shortly before the game started: Garrett […]
This game had a little bit of everything, both good and bad. The second inning was the story early on as the Rays showed to a national audience how they had won 12 of their last 13, before then reminding those same viewers how they got off to a 2-5 start this season with defensive […]
Go Rays!
This is what everyone expected at the start of the season. Solid pitching. Good defense. Runs on offense. The Sox head home after their first sweep of 2026, taking all three games from the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers are now under .500 at 18-20, barely better than the disaster of a start 16-21 Red Sox. […]
The Yankees broke their five-game winning streak on Wednesday, their offense finally getting stopped as Yankee Killer Nathan Eovaldi dominated them once again. Their last two losses both came at his hands, as he tossed seven shutout innings in their series in Texas before going eight strong with just an Aaron Judge solo shot blemishing […]
Is this hell? No, this is Tropicana Field. That might be what the Toronto Blue Jays think of The Trop. Since 2021, the Jays have a .655 OPS and a 10-22 record under the tilted roof at One Tropicana Drive, and losers of 10 of the last 12. Even the Blue Jays, biggest podcast, Gate […]
