Just an aside but I see the Yankees have gone into a real swoon. I blocked the Yankee fan who used blue coloring on his fonts but I'll bet his troll like posts have changed in tone of late. The Rays are holding the vaunted Yankee bats down again tonight.
The fact that he is the 41st best player on the Pirates shows just how bad the Sox were in 2020.Originally Posted by Elktonnick

We hear a lot of criticism of how badly our offense is doing. Imagine having these numbers from all your batters with 70+ PAs (17 of them):
OPS, listed in order of players by most PAs
755
767
563
726
819
740
704
724
649
714
475
788
627
477
499
584
548
This is the Tampa Rays. (.681 team OPS)
Now, how about the Yanks? (14 players with 70+ PAs) .761 team OPS
1.061
798
825
729
690
640
644
807
621
723
609
1.138
621
526
Now, the Sox (before tonight): 14 over 70 PAs (.719 team OPS)
818
714
933
779
713
759
649
578
660
603
651
738
469
885
(Pham is at .831 but only 59 PAs)

Although Springs has turned out to be a lot better than expected.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
This is a big part of the "Rays way." So many player have their career years with them, and often they move on to be replaced by the next Springs. Sometimes, they can trade them for the next Springs.

I hope you also got a puppy and a pizza for your safe space....
Absolutely stunning numbers. You have no peer.
Mazza hasn't been as good.

I think the question would be, WHERE are they signing him to play. You need 180 guys in your organization, and that doesn't include IL and unassigned players.
They miss a lot, but hit enough to make an impact.
(Mazza wasn't too bad in '21.)
It was Beeks (Nate trade) that let up the granny, last night in NY.

The Rays have never won a championship . And it doesn't look like this is the year either. They don't like to spend money . But they do like those revenue sharing checks.
Old school is good school.
True enough!
I'd rather be a Rays fan than half the teams in MLB that spend way more than them.

Personally I wouldn't want to be a fan of any team that's never won a title.

After watching a game at that dump in St Pete I wonder why anyone would want to be a Ray's fan.
