Finally, with 16 games already played, we can start to look at and form ideas from stats. We’re not drawing any conclusions yet, but...

View from the Catwalk: Beat Gerritt Cole? No problem.
Photo by Mark LoMoglio/Icon SMI/Corbis/Icon Sportswire via Rays News The Rays left the Bronx with after completing an impressive three game sweep. Solid defense, strong pitching and some timely hits — easy, right? The team’s next stop is Kansas City, where they will take on the currently-in-first-place Royals. Josh Fleming, a Missouri native, will get the start with dozens of friends and family in the stands. As you may have seen, Yankees fans showed their displeasure with their team by....throwing baseballs and other debris at Rays players on Friday night. Just...

Tyler Glasnow, Ascending
Photo by Mike Stobe/ or, why Glasnow’s worst start of this young season might have been his most impressive Saturday we did not see Tyler Glasnow’s at his best. This was not close to Tyler Glasnow’s best game. Not of his career, or of his season, and not even of this week! But this early season day game at Yankee Stadium, this most likely forgettable start, this game showed us that Tyler Glasnow is ascending to the next level of pitcher. His final box score reads 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 7 K, 13 whiffs on 105 pitches. For those that watched it’s remarkable Tyler...

Rays 4, Yankees 2: How Sweep It Is!
Photo by Mike Stobe/ Yoshi is clutch while Yarbs and the boys three hit the Yankees Behind a stellar, three-hit pitching effort from Johnny Wholestaff, along with just enough offense, the Rays completed a sweep of the Yankees in New York, winning 4-2. The lineup felt a little light today, especially at the bottom, as they squared off against Yankee ace Gerrit Cole. #Rays lineup vs. #Yankees and Cole, going for the sweep in the Bronx pic.twitter.com/nVmZSLaaA5— Marc Topkin (@TBTimes_Rays) April 18, 2021 (Note - the bottom of the order would do just fine,...

Rays 6, Yankees 3: Glasnow wobbles, but doesn’t break. Offense hits enough homers.
Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports Glasnow struggles with command, but keeps the game in reach. The Tampa Bay Rays took on the New York Yankees as they look to extend their dominance in the head to head matchup. The Rays have won 14 of their last 19 matchups dating back to the beginning of the 2020 season including the playoffs. The Rays sent Tyler Glasnow to the mound coming off one of the most dominant outings I’ve seen from a Rays pitcher on Monday night against the Texas Rangers. The Yankees counter with Jordan Montgomery. Inning 1: Joey Wendle error pushes Tyler...

Rays vs Yankees Series Preview: Who hunts the Headhunters?
Photo by Douglas P. DeFelice/ The Tampa Bay Rays series against the Texas Rangers didn’t go as planned. The offense found trouble scoring runs in picking up only one win in the four game set. The New York Yankees have had an equally disappointing start to the season after losing their second series of the season to the Toronto Blue Jays while also losing their first series to the Rays. Tensions remain high between the two teams that faced off in the American League Division Series last year, particularly after Aroldis Chapman sent a 100+ mph fastball over the head of...

View from the Catwalks: The Rays slide into last place in the AL
Jonathan Dyer-USA TODAY Sports A big momentum rivalry series in the Bronx awaits the struggling Rays The Rays are currently in 15th (out of 15) place in the AL. The Yankees are only a hair better at 13th place. A pivotal series between the two teams most expected to be the top teams in all of the AL will fight it out to stay out of the incredibly early-season gutter. The thing about baseball is, it’s easy to predict and you can always expect what happens. By the numbers, the Rays have gotten off to a brutal start: The Rays have led for just 33 1⁄2 innings out of...
