Rays of Light

You might have noticed a few more posts going up over the past few days. That’s with good reason. I’m getting myself back in the swing of things to try and do a full reboot of this puppy over the course of the next week or two. Po...

The “Hey, at least Brian Shouse is back.. oh wait…” edition. 1 2 3...

A very lackluster performance from the Rays on Sunday as they close out a pretty good overall roadtrip with a complete dud of a performance. ...

For Starters: Jeff Niemann (9-4, 3.61 ERA) vs Brett Cecil (3-1, 4.61 ERA) MLB.com has the scoop: The 6-foot-9, 280-pound Niemann dazzled once again in a 3-2 victory against the White Sox on Tuesday...

Hmm… Among the sellers could be the Indians, who keep fielding offers for Victor Martinez from Boston, Tampa Bay, and San Francisco, but they aren’t inclined to deal unless a team’s best prospects are included. [[ This is a content summary only. Visi...

Hat tip to MLBTradeRumors on this one: MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy reports that the Brewers have signed reliever Jesus Colome to a minor league contract. The Nationals designated Colome for assignment earlier this month after he pitched to an 8.40 ERA in 15 innings out of the bullpen. McCalvy says... ...

For Starters: David Price (3-4, 4.86 ERA) vs Brian Tallet (5-6, 4.95 ERA) MLB.com has the scoop: Price, making his first start in 11 days because of the All-Star break, looked a bit out of sync in a 4-3 loss against the White Sox on Monday.

Sure, it might have taken about 7 weeks longer than it should have, but David Price will take to the hill on Monday night in Cleveland trying to right the one thing that has - on a number of occassions - gone so wrong for the Rays this season: the spot in the starting rotation [...] [[ This is a...

The past two days have been nice for the Durham starting pitchers. Our top two prized possessions down there have been very good. David Price and Wade Davis have been nothing short of greatness in the last two days. Sunday, Price decided to no-hit Rochester through 5 innings. Through those 5 IP,.....

Well, I’d love to see what the Maddon lovers have to say now. Today, May 17, 2009, the Rays manager, Joe Maddon, decides to put 2 third basemen in the lineup. One was supposed to be a DH. ...

The Rays take the series in this one. Great job by the offense in this series! The starting pitching, besides Garza, was pitiful, but the bats prevailed. Even Andy Sonnanstine got in on the action...
