Tampa Bay Rays vs. Geography: Why Tropicana Field is Always Empty

For the entirety of the franchise's history, the Tampa Bay Rays have always struggled to bring fans to their games. Many people point to their stadium being an issue, but the problem lies much deeper than that.

Bo Bichette on “fearless baseball”

#

“At this point in the year every team is a tough team to beat,” Bichette said. “Even the teams that aren't in it anymore want to spoil it for the teams that are in it. They're big-league players over there. If we want to accomplish anything, we've got to go out and give it everything we got. I'm not worrying about what could go wrong, but focusing on what could go right. That's where we need to be, and I think I think we definitely have to have the ability to do that.”

Today, Gunnar Henderson hit the 89th Quasi-Cycle in MLB history. In order to qualify for this feat, a player must have at least 1 home run, a triple, and 1 double in a game with an additional double, triple, or home run on top of that. The last Quasi cycle before today was hit in 2014.

#

Correction: Gunner Henderson is the 90th person to hit a Quasi Cycle in MLB history. The last one was hit this year, before that 2014.

#

Examples of a quasi cycle:

1 home run, 1 triple, 2 doubles

1 home run, 2 triples, 1 double

2 home run, 1 triples, 1 double

The Red Sox sweep the Yankees in the Bronx

#

The Red Sox and Giants finish games identically* and beat the Yankees and Braves simultaneously

#

The Red Sox and Giants just won their games about 1-2 minutes apart.

Both entered the 9th tied Red Sox 5-5, Giants 3-3.

Both lead off getting runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs.

Both score one run.

Both win the game by that one run almost exactly at the same time.

Not great analysis but as a fan of both teams just having watched both wildly intense games at the same time I thought this was an interesting tidbit.

Also, interestingly Aaron Judge and Kenley Jansen face off for the first time in their careers in a one run game bottom of the 9th with 2 on and no outs. Judge struck out looking.

36-year-old Hyun Jin Ryu since returning from his 2nd Tommy John surgery: 4 starts, 19 IP, 1.89 ERA

He's struggling to even hit 90 mph, but it doesn't matter. He's locating everything and mixing pitches masterfully. He's been making hitters, especially young ones, look foolish on 66 mph curveballs.

This is quite possibly the best he's looked in a Blue Jay uniform, a stretch of his career that includes a 3rd-place Cy Young finish.

Spencer Torkelson has been the best hitter in baseball this week

#

He’s being overshadowed by Julio Rodriguez (which is fair—what Julio’s doing is insane, and with his plus defense and baserunning he’s been the more valuable player overall), but our boy Tork has put up a wRC+ of 312 in his past seven games, and he’s already piling on more with another homer today. The dude’s slugging percentage (slugging alone, not OPS) is over 1.000 this week! He’s gone from 0.0 fWAR on the season to 1.0 in just ten games.

He’s had an interesting career, as he’s performed well enough at the ML level but still finds himself signing minor league deals and being waived by teams.

Scorecard from yesterday's Orioles vs. A's game.

#

Today Orioles owner John Angelos said that in order to keep homegrown talent, they’ll have to “raise prices significantly”. Prices at Camden Yards the last few years: A hot dog-8.75| A 24oz beer-18 DOLLARS

#

Many of these prices were set PRE-2020 too.

Imagine watching your team losing 100+ games year after year, and you need to pay 18 dollars for a beer and 8.75 a hot dog to wallow in your sadness in the park.

And now, you want to RAISE PRICES SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THERE?!

Sell the team John.

Edit: The payroll for the Orioles is 70 million(60 million if you exclude Chris Davis). Worth noting here in the context of John’s argument about needing capital.

The Athletics have hired Mortenson | McCarthy as the construction manager for the Club’s proposed ballpark in Las Vegas. (This is the first time the A’s official Twitter account has acknowledged their relocation)

#

Corbin Carroll is listed as a bench player on Baseball-Reference despite playing in 120/125 games and leading the team in WAR. What are some other team page oddities?

#

At John Angelos’ request, Maryland officials considered filing antitrust suit against MLB to aid Orioles during MASN dispute

#

Number of national TV games (ESPN, FOX, FS1, TBS) every team has played in and their records in those games

#

Even after buying big at the all star break, as of today the Angels are further from a wild card spot than the Washington Nationals

#

The Boston Red Sox are 66-58, yet their best player player by fWAR is ranked 84th

#

The Red Sox have a pretty unusual roster this season. No player stands out as an elite talent according to Fangraphs, but they continue to have solid team results. Rafael Devers is the team leader at 2.6 fWAR (84th) and funny enough no player on the team was ranked in the top 100 before yesterday's game. It's worth adding that Baseball Reference has evaluated Red Sox players more favorably including Brayan Bello (3.3 bWAR), Devers (3.0 bWAR), Alex Verdugo (2.9 bWAR) and reliever Chris Martin (2.5 bWAR).

Umpire scorecard for the PIT@MIN game

A scatterplot of teams' records this month and for the season as a whole. Been a great month so far for the Dodgers (17-2) and Mariners (14-4)

#

MLB Graphical Standings - August 21st, 2023

#

AL East
Orioles continue to push upwards, while the Yankees break below 0.500 and keep going

#

AL Central
Twins holding steady, which seems to be enough with the Guardians slowly falling

Where did the Royals go?

#

AL West
Oh, that's where the Royals went to
Mariners: objects in mirror are closer than they appear

#

NL East
Braves' logo got cut off but they're way up there
Mets and Nationals are on mirrored hot streaks
A's moving down so quickly that they'll be 3rd in the NL East at this rate

#

NL Central
Brewers are on a rocky path
Cubs and Reds have been mirroring records for a few games

#

NL West
It's that time of year when the Dodgers just run away with the division, right?
Diamondbacks slithering back up

#

Runs Scored vs Runs Allowed
Expected Wins and Luck based on Pythagorean record

Mets are now the closest team to average
Braves, Rangers, Rays, Dodgers are the top group

#

Whole AL
Rays have a comfortable WC1 right now, while the Astros, Mariners, and Jays get to battle it out for WC2 and WC3

#

Whole NL
Does anyone actually want WC2/WC3?

#

The Yankees, at 4 games below 0.500, now hold the worst net record for the AL East in the entire season

#

A step toward long-term health the Yankees seem likely to take would be the promotion of some of their top prospects who are the closest to the majors — possibly as soon as Tuesday, following Monday’s off day. Candidates include outfielder Everson Pereira and infielder Oswald Peraza

With an Fwar of 1.8 this season Belt has a higher total than Vlad , Springer , and Manoah combined . It's honestly pretty impressive that this team still finds itself in the thick of a playoff race.

Bill Belichick Addresses Rumor That Patriots Tried to Trade for Aaron Rodgers

"Yeah I’m not really sure what you’re referring to," Belichick said on WEEI's "The Greg Hill Show". "I personally couldn’t speak to that. Look, there's a lot of conversations in the offseason between our personnel people and other executives. I don’t know what he’s really talking about. I personally didn’t talk to the Packers about Aaron Rodgers, no… I mean look, I mean Aaron Rodgers is a great player. That's not really, that's not anything I was aware of.

Peter Schmuck: John Angelos is playing a dangerous game

If timing is everything, Orioles CEO John Angelos didn’t get the memo. Somehow, he found a way to turn one of the most uplifting weekends in recent Orioles history into another opportunity for Baltimore sports fanatics to dredge up the horrible memory of the day all those years ago that the beloved NFL Colts were […]

Fun Fact: If the Twins make the playoffs this year and the Yankees don't, it will be the first time that has happened since 1991, and excluding the 2020 COVID season, the first time they won't play each other in first round of the playoffs since 2006.

#

2020: Both made the playoffs, Twins lost to Houston, Yankees lost to Tampa

2019: Twins swept by Yankees

2017: Twins lost to Yankees (WC)

2010: Twins swept by Yankees

2009: Twins swept by Yankees

2006: Twins lost to Oakland, Yankees lost to Detroit

#

The Twins also lost to the Yankees in both 2003 and 2004, and they both made the playoffs in 2002.

The Yankees failed to make the playoffs in 1987 and 1991, and the Twins won the World Series both years...

LITERALLY TWO WEEKS AGO I THOUGHT WE WERE SIGNING CAICEDO AND WE DIDN'T AND NOW THIS

#

there isn't even a market for LWs rn so we'll probably end up having no choice but to play Szobo there which is fine since I think Szobo was playing at LW for RB Salzburg last season but s t I l l

#

our depth is out the window there since the next valuable person at LW is a 16 year old I think

and also a proper midfield rebuild????? hahahahaha once again we are looking at midfielders to fill the place Szobo was literally intended to fill

The story and headline have been changed to say it was THC, not marijuana specifically:

The controlled substance charge, for alleged possession of THC, is a low-level state felony and the unlawful carrying of a weapon is a misdemeanor, according to Frisco police. A source earlier told the Star-Telegram the drug was marijuana.

Original excerpt from the article:

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Sam Williams was arrested by Frisco police Sunday night on charges of possession of a controlled substance and unlawful carrying of a weapon, per a police department spokesperson.

The controlled substance charge, for alleged possession of marijuana, is a low-level state felony and the unlawful carrying of a weapon is a misdemeanor, according to Frisco police.
