    Catcher Danny Jansen, Boston Red Sox | Photo By Winslow Townson/Getty Images How will the Rays address this hole? The 2024 MLB season has reached its conclusion and the Rays have flipped their mindset into offseason mode. One of the top items on their wish list, it seems, is too improve upon the poor output they received from the catching position. Rays catchers posted a .562 OPS this seas...2024

    Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images They started strong, but couldn’t hold on. The Tigers certainly had the Rays’ number for the first half of this series, but on getaway day, the Rays decided to get a little hustle going and made the final game of the series an interesting one. Unfortunately one they did not win. Tyler Alexander was on the mound for the Rays, a former Tiger himself. Meanwhile, th...2024

    Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images Rays drop the early game to start the series. After a rainy Michigan forecast caused the game to get moved into the afternoon, and actual rain delayed that new start by an hour, things finally got underway in Detroit. Ryan Pepiot was on the mound for the Rays, up against a stacked lineup of lefties, and Cy Young-conteder Taril Skubal was on the bump for the Tig...2024

    Bill Streicher-Imagn Images The Rays lost a close one to the Phillies tonight, losing on a bases loaded walk off single. This was a classic low-scoring game. Rays pitchers Sulser and Alexander kept the Phillies hitless until the 6th inning, when Kyle Schwarber does what he always does, which is to hit the ball out of the park. His solo home run put the Phillies up 1-0. The Rays seemed to...2024

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.

    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
