  Of course he hit a home run | Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports So far 2024 is the season where the Rays can have a starter get into the seventh inning with a shutout, and yet ultimately lose the game because their bullpen gives up seven runs in the final two innings.And as for the offense, well, for the most part picture ground ball outs.Before the eighth inning, this was a pretty decent pitcher’s duel. The Angel’s Patrick Sandoval was impressive, with his fastball command better

  Kim Klement Neitzel-USA TODAY Sports Not a massive win, but a win nevertheless.Apologies for the delayed recap, DRB friends, but better late than never.
  On Friday the Rays eked out a win in the series opener against the San Francisco Giants. The Rays relied heavily on their bullpen, with Jacob Waguespack taking the first four innings against Keaton Winn for the Giants (who is ironically hunting for his first win of the season still).

• Rays 4 Angels 2: Thanks goodness for José Caballero

  11-04-2024 01:12 via draysbay.com
  
  Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports If you’ve been missing three plus hour games, then today would have made you happy! This is surprising with the super efficient Zach Littell on the mound for the Rays, but today he wasn’t quite his usual low-walk, elite control pitcher. Lots of deep counts and foul balls made this one feel like a bit of a grind.
  But the Rays were able to capitalize early on a very strange inning that must have made the Angels and their starter, the young and talente

The Rays have also seen some surprising offensive production from catcher Ben Rortvedt, who has carved out a role a little larger than “backup catcher” on this team.We go through each part of the team (bullpen, rotation, offense, defense) and rate them 1-5 on our Worrisome Index. 5 being incredibly worried, 1

  Jonathan Dyer-USA TODAY Sports Jason Adam found a slider, and Shawn Alexander is trying not to lose one. This early in the baseball season, it’s still foolish to find much meaning in results, be that statistics or precise pitch measurements. But generally speaking we can look at the pitch tracking data and see what’s new — what are pitchers trying to do in 2024?
  Last week we looked at Aaron Civale, Tyler Alexander, and Garrett Cleavinger had all added sweepers to their repertoi

  Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports Can he do this all year? Jose Siri is very, very fast.
  Baseball Savant ranks Siri in the 98th percentile in sprint speed amongst all MLB players. Yet despite having this blazing speed, it’s always seemed like the speedy outfielder was capable of more on the basepaths.
  Siri recorded just 12 stolen bases on 15 attempts in 2023. In terms of advanced statistics, using Fangraphs’ BsR, a run value statistic where 0 is league average, Siri’s 3.5 ran

  Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports This one was never a sure thing.I’m not going to sugarcoat it, this game looked like it was deeply unpleasant to play, and the Rockies may have benefited a great deal from being accustomed to the conditions at Coors Field, because it looked very miserable out there.
  We can blame it on the wind to make ourselves feel better, but in all honesty not a lot was going the way the Rays would have wanted it to tonight. The pitching matchup was Tyler Alexander versus Rya
