Last night was Junior Caminero Bobble Head day & he did not disappoint fans who came to see him play. A star is rising, folks. #Rays would do well to lock him up long-term. #RaysUp www.mlb.com/video/00u7j7...

On this day in 2024, #Rays beat #Marlins 5-3 with these players aboard. Only 6 of these 16 players are still with the team a year later. And I have to say, they're better for it overall. The only ones let go with significant success are Paredes & Adam, and Caminero >> Paredes, Orze = Adam. #RaysUp

#Rays Starting Pitchers lead #MLB in innings pitched And they also have the 2nd lowest Whip in #MLB at 1.13 Kevin Cash is allowing some to exceed 100 pitches No openers used in 2025. No shifts. What rule will #MLB change in attempt to slow #Rays down this time? Limit front office contract lengths?

#Florida, you get what you voted for. The ignorant governments in charge have left you all vulnerable to damages that insurance companies will now be able to blame on governments, giving them a way out of paying billions in claims. Good luck!

While grocery shopping at #Sobeys yesterday, I read the labels, and picked up 14 items that were made in the #UnitedStates and put each one of them back on the shelf. I'll buy from any other place on earth - but I will not buy a product from the #UnitedStates if I can help it. #ElbowsUp

Overall, #Rays have stolen 86 bases More than what 6 teams stole in ALL of 2024 In fact, 3 #Rays Rookies = 36 SB in '25 (Simpson 19, Mangum 10, Misner 7) That's same or more than these teams: #BlueJays 36 #Braves 36 #STLCards 35 #Athletics 34 #MNTwins 33 #Astros 30 #Rockies 30 #Angels 25 #Tigers 21

#Rays Shane Baz line against by IP, '25 1st inning .146/.205/.146, 1.50 ERA 2nd .186/.239/.372, 2.25 ERA 3rd .261/.306/.478, 3.00 ERA -- 4th .341/.400/.568, 10.12 ERA 5th .381/.447/.714, 7.45 ERA IMO: it's not stamina, it's a pitch mix issue. Needs to throw more secondaries. Baz needs a Cutter.

Very solid #Rays lineup for tonight’s tilt with Rangers. Warming up to Josh in the leadoff spot.

Yes, Glasnow is better when healthy. But he's never healthy. The Dodgers knew this and still traded for him despite their pitcher injury problems. Meanwhile, Pepiot is their one of their only homegrown starters of the past 5 years who has not blown out.

Scott Rolen (top 6 in MVP voting once) 2038 GP, 2077 hits, 517 doubles, 316 HR .281/364/.490 Carlos Delgado (top 6 in MVP voting 3 times) 2035 GP, 2038 hits, 483 doubles, 473 HR .280/.383/.546 I'll never understand why Rolen is in HOF while Delgado is not. #BlueJays #MLB youtu.be/TCO27NppA_M?...

#Rays suddenly getting some much deserved respect. By end-June, it's possible they enter the Top 10. Kevin Cash should get a lot of recognition for managing his way through such a tough schedule, multiple rookies being aboard & his Ace & highest paid player being on IL. #MLB

Kameron Misner compared to Kevin Kiermaier. Looking at Baseball Savant, Misner is essentially Kiermaier but with more bat speed, more power, but also more strike outs. #Rays #RaysUp #MLB

Most innings pitched by Starting Pitchers so far in '25: 1. #Royals 342 IP 2. #Rays 338.2 IP 3. #Phillies 335.1 IP The #Rays are no longer using "Opener" & are still above .500 despite not having their Ace aboard. Impressive, but does it mean #MLB will forget above potential rule changes? We'll see.
