Rodriguez: “We’d Be Better With Manny”

We have been arguing this for a while. But it is a bit surprising to hear of the Rays players plainly state that the Rays would be better with Manny Ramirez. “We’d be better with Manny,” Rays infielder Sean Rodriguez said. “You’re talking about an experienced guy who can still hit. Everyone was giving him tough times because he was struggling at the beginning, but everyone...

Foul ball shatters bulb at the Trop

Not only did the Boston Red Sox 1-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in 16-innings feature home plate ump Chad Fairchild taking a David Ortiz follow through to the mask, prompting him to swear on live television, but it also contained a freakish moment where broken glass littered the playing field and part of the stands after a Sean Rodriguez foul ball shattered a Tropicana Field...

Rays' game briefly delayed by broken light

Sean Rodriguez's foul ball brought about a strange delay. The Tampa Bay Rays' second baseman hit a ball in the eighth inning of Sunday night's game against Boston that broke a light on an overhanging catwalk down the third-base line. Parts of the light dropped to the playing surface in foul ground between third base and the Boston bullpen. No one was hit by the debris...

Sean Rodriguez's Power and Speed Could Help Rays' Get Over Offseason Departures

Our weekly look at one item tying together each of Boston's AL East opponents examines the Rays. Which relatively unknown player could make a name for himself in Tampa Bay in 2011? While it was only spring training, the Red Sox got to know what Sean Rodriguez is capable of during Grapefruit League action last year. He was a menace in Tampa Bay's 5-0-1 (yes, there was a tie) run vs...

Sean Rodriguez, 2011 Fantasy Sleeper

If Sean Rodriguez didn’t have 2nd base eligibility, he wouldn’t get this 2011 fantasy sleeper post.  Keep that in mind.  I like him, but he doesn’t have a secure enough spot in the Rays’ plans to warrant his own post without that eligibility, which, of course, is much prettier at your middle infidel spot.  Last year in part-time duty (hehe, I said duty...

The Rays acquired Sean from the Angels from the Scott Kazmir deal and have benefited from his versatile glove and strong bat. Let’s look at the numbers behind Sean’s season. Rodriguez finished...

Sean Rodriguez Flooded Condo May Have Cost Him His Job

On July 16, the Rays were set to open the second-half in Replica Yankee Stadium. Sean Rodriguez missed the game because a faulty splrinkler system flooded his condo the day before. He was then scheduled to take a flight on Friday and arrive in time for the game, but a mix-up caused Rodriguez to miss his flight. Since then, Rodriguez has seen his playing time plummet. Prior to the...

Tampa Bay Rays Sean Rodriguez stung by actual stingray

At least Tampa Bay Rays infielder Sean Rodriguez didn’t play for the Detroit Tigers. In what we can easily call the Stupid Injury of the Day, Rodriguez was stung by a stingray on Monday morning behind his Redington Beach condo when he took his 2-year-old daughter, Sofia, into the water to get a closer look at some dolphins. According to Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times...

No Hitter? Not This Time.

It was a totally different game from the last time the Rays faced Mark Buerhle. The Rays accounted for 13 hits, 9  against Buerhle and Sean Rodriguez hit his first dinger of the season, ending his slump at the plate. I was beginning to worry Rodriguez  overperformed during Spring Tranining and was not ready for the bigs. [...]
