Tampa Bay Rays June thread

[craig01]

Ok, the May thread was probably bad luck, so it's time for a new month and hopefully a positive one at that.

The Rays will score 6 runs tonight against Miami.

[craig01]

Rays finally score some runs, but the bullpen decides to give up more.

The streak continues.

[craig01]

Rays finally end ten game skid.

Bedard pitched really well, but offense left the bases loaded several times.

Time to hit the freaking ball

[craig01]

The swoon continues.

Archer and the bullpen give terrific efforts until Balfour comes in for the ninth.

Rays lose 5-0.

I think Maddon needs to do something now with Balfour. Enough is enough.

Let him pitch his way back into good graces.

Time for McGee or anyone else to get a shot at finishing games.

[Optimus_Steel]

Its over...

[craig01]

Yeah, realistically it's almost impossible to make the playoffs.

Rays would have to go 66-32 to win 90 games.

[craig01]

Rays finally scored some runs and won a game too.

Unbelievable slump

[craig01]

Rays win two in a row.

Cobb was great, bullpen got the job done.

Six runs, must have felt like winning the lottery in the clubhouse.

If the rays can just win 16 more in a row, they will be at .500.

[craig01]

Rays lose at Houston 7-3.

Archer trips and loses the ball with two outs in the third, then hits the next batter, walks the next batter, and caps it off with giving up a bases loaded double. Five unearned runs.. Ugh

On the bright side, longoria went yard with his eighth home run.

I've been watching the Rays these past 5 days since this NBA Finals doesn't interest me. I wasn't able to watch the Rays for awhile there and I'm glad I'm able to again. I just wish we were a winning team.

[The Real Dalic]

Rays looking great of late. Another good win! Keep it up guys!

[craig01]

Correct, Rays seem to be putting some pieces together of late.

13 games back from Toronto seems like a ridiculous number, but it isn't that far fetched.

Rays have to start winning series again.... and repetitively.

A little bit of offense will go a long way towards getting this started.

[craig01]

Rays lost 2-zip.

Another wasted quality start for Cobb.

Rays are now 30-46, but Rays offense showed signs of life on Saturday.

Rays just need to finish the season on a 60-26 run to win 90 games. Lol

51-35 gets them to .500 by seasons end.

[craig01]

Rays win 5-2.

Bedard with a nice effort, but more importantly the offense came through, did the little things (like not striking out with RISP), and the bullpen closed the deal.

31-46.

[craig01]

Rays defeated Baltimore 5-4 yesterday with another fine effort from Bedard.

McGee goes 1.1 innings for the save, hitting 99mph several times and clearly overmatching Chris davis and Machado with the high heat. Well done.

Rays just need to focus on winning one series at a time.

Rays up 12-4 in the ninth against Baltimore.

Rays get a seven-run sixth inning, Joyce goes 5-5 with two dingers and a double.

Is there light at the end of the tunnel?

[The Real Dalic]

Nice win for the Rays against the Yanks, 4-3 in 12 innings.

This team just looks different right now! We should be the best in the AL East the way we're playing! It sucks that we started off so slowly. But I have faith that the Rays can still make the playoffs!
