Evan Longoria just recieved two more awards to add to his trophy case, which is great for him and the Rays. The awards announcement left me asking one big question: Why did Carl Crawford not get any awards? Now, I am saying this before the MVPs are announced, but it is a bit of a [...]

Sean Gallagher makes his second start of 2009 after beginning the season in the bullpen. He’s 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA and 1.67 WHIP. This is his third career start against the Rays. He has posted no record against Tampa Bay, but has a fine 2.70 ERA. Willy Aybar will probably return to the DH [...]
Vs. Josh Beckett — Inside the Numbers

It’s start #3 for Josh Beckett this season against the Rays. So far, it’s been a mixed bag for Beckett, winning handily at Fenway and getting rocked at the Trop. On April 7, he pitched seven innings of two-hit ball, allowing just one run while striking out 10. Then, a few weeks later at the [...]
Vs. Jon Lester — Inside the Numbers

Left-handed starter Jon Lester was the only Red Sox pitcher the Rays didn’t see in last weekend’s four-game series at the Trop. With the Rays being 2-8 against left-handed starters, that was a good thing. But, tonight, they face Lester for the second time this season. Lester was the starter in one of the two [...]

In a rematch of Sunday’s clash between the Rays and Red Sox, Brad Penny goes to the mound to face James Shields. In the earlier game at the Trop, Penny pitched fairly well in a losing effort, allowing six hits and three runs over six innings of work. He struck out eight. For the season, [...]

The run on right-handed starting pitching ends as the Rays face Andy Pettitte to close this quick two-game series in New York. This will be Pettitte’s second start of the season against Tampa Bay after getting a no-decision in his start at the Trop during the opening series. In that game, he went 7 1/3 innings, allowing six [...]

The Rays get their second crack at AJ Burnett in the first game of a short two-game series at the new Yankees Stadium. In the first game, Burnett dominated the Rays, winning 7-2. In that game, he gave up three hits and one run over eight innings while striking out nine batters. So far this [...]
