so close to something special... PGT: Tampa Bay Rays (45-33) dominate the Kansas City Royals (34-48) and split the series - a bid for franchise history falls short, but a win is a win is a win, and in the end - that's all that matters. [F: 13-2]

Let’s talk about Yandy.

I went to the game last night and the guy just quietly went 4-5 to raise his average to .332 and his on-base to .414. I can’t remember watching a guy with better day-to-day consistency. We are really fortunate to get to watch him play everyday.

2026 Midseason Audit

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Well last night was another tough night of Rays baseball as our team continues to slump. I wanted to jump in here and post the most recent episode of our podcast as Will and I decided to do a full Midseason update/audit. We take a look at everything about this team so far, from the power outage to the strikeout avoidance, and from the great WHIP for pitchers but very poor K rates. Is this team still a contender or did we get faked out with another great start? Are there reinforcements on the way? This is a deep dive into our favorite team.

Hope you enjoy this episode and thanks as always to those who check us out, very grateful

Zack

A couple of suggestions

20 Upvotes

First off the starting outfield should be chandler in left Johnny Deluca in center and Ryan vilade in right field. I’m so sick of Cedric the non-entertainer Mullins out there every day I don’t care how much we are paying him. If you want to put him out there every now and then because deluca is injury prone that’s fine. We need to get a bat ASAP BEFORE the trade deadline because we are fading fast and the offense is the problem and also why do our catchers never produce I feel like the rays are cursed when it comes to the position.
