Punchless offense leads Rays to yet another defeat against Los Angeles Angels

in Peter/Top Headlines by

The longer the Tampa Bay Rays hang around, the more likely it is that something bad is going to happen to them. Take Thursday afternoon, for instance. Rookie Blake Snell threw five shutout innings and allowed only three hits, the same as the Los Angeles Angels’ Hector Santiago. But over the final four innings, the Angels pulled out a 5-1 victory with the last three runs coming off the bullpen. The Rays struck out 13 times and had only five hits. Snell fell to 1-4 on…

Angels drub Tampa Bay Rays after Steven Souza benched for not hustling

in Sports/Top Headlines by

It was a big enough gaffe for Tampa Bay’s Steven Souza to be pulled from the game. It was not big enough, evidently, for manager Kevin Cash to talk about after a 13-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Cash pulled Souza from the game in the fourth inning, just after Souza had tripled and scored. Souza had been slow to get out of the batter’s box. “You know what, there are issues that happen in a team that we address…

Has Tampa Bay’s Matt Moore made himself too valuable to trade away?

in Sports/Top Headlines by

For a while, Matt Moore was pitching well enough for another team to be interested in him. These days, Moore is pitching well enough to stay. Despite trade rumors, Moore pitched well again Monday, allowing the Tampa Bay Rays to win 4-2 over the Los Angeles Angels, 4-2. It was the sixth straight game Moore had pitched six innings or more. It evened his record at 5-5 and was the first time he has won back to back games (with…

Tampa Bay Rays lose yet again to Tigers despite solid start by Chris Archer

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Even when they get unusually good starting pitching, the day ends in the usual disappointment for the Tampa Bay Rays. Despite getting one of Chris Archer’s finest starts – 5 2/3 of three-hit, shutout baseball – the Rays’ bullpen faltered again in a 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers. It concluded the first half of the season at 33-48. The Rays have won only two of their last 18 games. Tampa Bay has given up at least five runs in…

Tigers win again as Tampa Bay loses their 15th game in 17 decisions

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Every day feels the same. Every song sounds the same. Every loss feels the same. That’s what it’s like for the Tampa Bay Rays, a team stuck in Grounghog Day. The Rays – surprise, surprise – lost another game Saturday afternoon, their 15th loss in their last 17 games. It dropped the team to 14 games under .500, a two-year low. This time, it was only 3-2, and the battered bullpen didn’t give up a run. Still, the Rays lost…

Tigers beat up on on Tampa Bay, bullpen once again in easy victory

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Things are going so badly for the Tampa Bay Rays’ bullpen these days that they turned to an infielder Friday night. The Rays, being bashed by the Detroit Tigers, let infielder Taylor Motter finished the game up. And at least Motter kept the baseball inside the park, as opposed to other Rays’ pitchers who gave up a pair of three-run homers to Victor Martinez. The Tigers, who scored eight runs in the ninth on Thursday night, scored 10 on 14…

Tampa Bay Rays collapse, blow five-run lead in loss to explosive Detroit Tigers

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The game was a stroll on the beach. It was an afternoon in the park. A float down the river. A Sunday afternoon drive. And then the sky fell. The Tampa Bay Rays blew a staggering lead Thursday night, giving up a five-run lead and losing a 10-7 game to the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers had only four hits going into the ninth, but for some reason, manager Kevin Cash entrusted the lead to young Ryan Garton. The Tigers beat…
