Lack of Superstars, but Rays still on top

Via MyTeamRivals.com  |  May 15, 2012
Hard to believe that the Tampa Bay Rays are still hovering at the top of the AL East. With   a real lack of Superstar leadership offensively and defensively, the young Rays continue to make plays, score runs, and beat the odds to still be legitimate contenders in what is arguably the American League’s toughest division. Biggest loss so far is Evan Longoria. Longo has had hamstring...

Desmond Jennings progress is stalling

Via The Big Dead Sidebar  |  May 14, 2012
The Tampa Bay Rays are receiving some bad news on outfielder Desmond Jennings. Manager Joe Maddon told reporters Sunday that the progress on Jennings’ injured knee is stalling as Jennings’ knee is still sore and it will still cause him to miss games and possibly turn into significant time loss. Jennings was out of the lineup Sunday and missed his sixth straight game due to the...

Rays make five errors as Orioles win

Via Fox Sports  |  May 13, 2012
The Tampa Bay Rays know what it takes to win, and making five errors in a game is certainly not part of that formula. And so, after the Rays bungled their way to a 5-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night, manager Joe Maddon didn't have to dig deep to come up with an explanation for the defeat. ''There's a fine line between winning and losing,''...

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  May 14, 2012
TORONTO (AP) -- The Tampa Bay Rays celebrated a win but lost another player on Monday night. Cesar Ramos got his first career victory after replacing the injured Jeff Niemann, and Ben Zobrist homered as the Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-1.

Dugout Digest - Matt Moore's disappointing start

Via The Outside Corner  |  May 13, 2012
Coming into this season, Rays rookie starter Matt Moore was expected to be one of the Rays' best starters. After seven starts, Moore has a 5.31 ERA, 34 strikeouts, 22 walks, and has allowed six homers. These aren't really great signs. His bad ERA is boosted by a 4.98 FIP and 5.01 xFIP. He's only getting ground balls in 33.1% of plate appearances. His BABIP is high at...

Rays-Blue Jays Preview

Via AP on Fox  |  May 13, 2012
If his recent starts are any indication, Brandon Morrow could be on his way to making the jump to top-flight starting pitcher this season. The Tampa Bay Rays didn't appear very impressed with the right-hander last month. Morrow looks to win a career-high fifth consecutive start and exact a measure of revenge against the Rays in the opener of a two-game series Monday night at...
