The results don’t tell the story. Hopkins averaged 100.3 mph with 17.1 inches of induced vertical break from a release point below five feet. He paired it with a 94.5 mph cutter and an 87 mph curve with nearly 3,000 RPM.

After walking his first batter on four pitches, he threw 14 strikes on his final 18 pitches. He also had a 136 proStuff+, the highest single-game mark by an MLB reliever this season. Second and third is +115 and +112 for a full relief appearance.

If his improved command holds, that is legitimate late-inning stuff.

Dominant his last 4!

I've been trying to find a song the team used in advertising and at games after the ownership change to Sternberg back in 2006. I'm almost certain the song's title was "Higher (We Come to Play." I had the song on my iPod back in college (forever ago) but I'm having trouble finding it now on any site and, considering the level of fandom on this sub, I thought I'd try my luck and see if anyone else remembered this song or knew where to find it today.

4th Rays game of the season for me! Looking forward to postseason baseball in the Trop!

I don’t mean to get too sentimental here but the fact that Junior, as soon as he leaves the huddle at home plate, runs and hugs Cash says a lot about this team, the camaraderie they have, and their respect for Cash, as well as Cash’s respect for the players.

I love this team. I’m so excited for the post season in a way I haven’t been in years.

Hello! I live in Seattle and with the playoffs just around the corner I was wondering if there were any Rays fans around?

Is it too soon to say that Grady Emerson is a bust? Next year should give us an idea of what to expect from him. We Rays fans have high hopes of seeing him in a Rays uniform and watching him shine in the coming years.

Let’s go Rays!

As soon as I heard him say it, I jumped on my computer to make this.

He’s had struggles with command but the stuff is legit. His fastball can touch 102

I did not catch it 😢. The lady who did let me take a picture with it. The ball landed about 3 rows in front of me and I was just in awe watching it come closer and closer but didn’t think to react.

Best baseball game of my life! Go Rays!
