    Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images Rays lose the typical way for TB in 25: bats failing to finish rally, SP gives up HRs, and bullpen adds even more runs. The Rays are in such a weird spot right now. It’s easy to claim that they are just a bad team. It’s easy to just lament this is the same song and dance from 2024. But the reality is far stranger. Tonight, much like the rest of the...2025

    Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images So many home runs. So many. Happy Thursday, everyone. The Rays were enjoying a fine spring day at the park against the Angels, with Zack Littell on the mound for the Rays up against Jose Soriano for the Angels.

    • Rays 2 Pirates 4: There is no shame in getting bested by Paul Skenes
    Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images It was the top of the first inning and something very strange was happening. A Rays pitcher — in this case Ryan Pepiot — threw four balls to a player, who then took first base. This, I’ve been told, is called a “walk,” and we hadn’t seen one from a Rays pitcher since Opening Day, when Pepiot and Pete Fairbanks had give up a total of three. It was one sign ...2025

Maybe one day the Rays will string together a couple of games where they hit with runners in scoring position, but that day likely won’t come in 2024 as the Rays are among the league's worst when hitting with runners in scoring position.

    • Rays 2 Rangers 13: Ok is THIS rock bottom?
    Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports Here’s my recap: No one on this team can hit; the defense isn’t terrible but also isn’t stellar; several of the starting pitchers wouldn’t be starting pitchers here if not for a bunch of injuries; and there are maybe 2.5 reliable arms in the bullpen. That all came together today in this “I wish they had a mercy rule” drubbing. No Rays pitcher — and there were ...2024
