I appreciate @RaysBaseball GM Erik Neander talking with me this week as the team is officially halfway through the season. We talked about:. - General thoughts.- 'above-average' hitting.- Kim is coming, balancing the MLB roster.- SP innings way up.- Is there a need for Bullpen

Dave Martinez spent plenty of time with the Rays as a player and coach. Now looking for a job after 8 seasons with Washington, which included a World Series title.

Good news on Brandon Lowe front, but it is worth mentioning BLowe had a scare last season, too. He got a MRI, it was clean. He resumed playing and then had a Grade 1 oblique strain about a week later. BLowe is too important to this team, so good on him to take a step back even.

Brandon Lowe said he left today’s game out of precaution when he felt the tweak in his right side after the first-inning strikeout: “Some discomfort,” Lowe said. “It’s a long-run type of thing, understanding that this team is special. Let's stay healthy and not try to land on the.

If Yandy Diaz flipped his April with June — I don’t even think it is a question he is in the All-Star Game. Have no issues with Rooker. The issue is with O’Hearn being labeled a DH while playing a chunk of time in the field. Is what it is 🤷🏻‍♂️. I wonder if Junior could replace.

Brandon Lowe and Jonathan Aranda are on the All-Star team. Junior Caminero and Yandy Diaz are not. Alex Bregman hasn’t played a game since May 23rd and still gets in. He was incredible, don’t get me wrong, but he has missed six weeks of the first half….

Well, the Rays finally won, but the bullpen is still a massive problem and Brandon Lowe got hurt. In the positive pile, the Rays continue to fight which is great. Joe Boyle looks like a stud and a tip of the cap to Pete Fairbanks who got Tampa Bay into extras.

There is not one button Kevin Cash can push with this bullpen that won’t blow up in his face right now.

Jose Caballero, who was originally scratched with right arm soreness, now comes into the game at second base, replacing Brandon Lowe, who’s celebrating his 31st birthday today. Working to find out why. Lowe’s hitting streak ends at 20 games, tying the franchise record.

That inning is Joe Boyle in a nutshell. He has some control issues and can’t hold runners well, but his stuff is filthy and it’s hard to generate much offense against him if he’s in the zone.

Just a horrible decision to bring in Kevin Kelly today. I get the logic. Royce Lewis struggles versus the sinker. Kody Clemens isn’t great either. You want to get Kevin Kelly back on the horse. But just *not* the time to do it.

Brandon Lowe ties Yandy Diaz with a Rays record 20-game hitting streak. Pretty remarkable run for BLowe who has been a streaky hitter for a large portion of his career.
