Do Rays Have What ‘It’ Takes This Do Rays have what ‘it’ takes this season? BOSTON — The Rays have a lot going for them. Heading into play Tuesday night with a four-game lead over the Red Sox, their pitching staff — despite a plethora of injuries — was leading the American League in ERA. Their offense ranked second in the AL and fourth in the majors in runs scored. Their defense, as usual, was among the game’s flashiest and tidiest. Their roster is athletic, flexible and versatile. Their clubhouse is a happy place. And, as they seek a franchise-record third straight playoff appearance and a return trip to the World Series, they seem to have something else going for them. “I’ve been a part of a lot of good teams before, I’ve seen kind of what it takes, and consistency is a really big, important part of it,” veteran reliever Collin McHugh said. “And for me, what I’ve seen from this club, we’ve got that thing. Whatever that thing is, whatever that intangible is, I feel like we’ve got it. And it’s our responsibility now to go out and complete the job. Finish the job that we’ve worked on all year for, and these guys have been working for the last multiple years to get to, and to hopefully get over that final hump.” Related: The real Hit Show? These Rays rank among majors’ most offensive Kevin Kiermaier, the Rays’ veteran centerfielder, is sure of it, even if he admittedly isn’t sure what it is. “We definitely have the ‘it’ factor,” Kiermaier said. “I think the funny thing about that question is, ‘What is the ‘it’ factor?’ No one knows. You can’t put a word on it. We have what it takes to hoist the trophy at the end of the year. That’s the ‘it’ factor to me. I know we can do it. “We’ve got to the biggest stage with a lot of the same guys, came up a little short. And here we are, again in a great position. Hopefully we can play as many games as we’re able to down the stretch to back up what I’m saying, but we have all the pieces to make this a very special year. It’s up to us to go out there and be about it. But whatever the ‘it’ factor is, we have it. It’s not even a question. We have it.” Collin McHugh, here with Mike Zunino, on the Rays’ chances to go far this year: “The great thing about baseball is that the best teams are usually there in the end. And I feel like we’re one of those teams this year.” [ WILL NEWTON | Associated Press ] It’s easy for a team holding first place with 50 games left, sitting a season-best 24 games over .500 at an AL-best 68-44, on pace for a franchise-record 98 wins, with an 84 percent chance of making the playoffs and 49 percent chance of winning the division per fangraphs.com, to feel good about itself. But it takes more than talented players to win. McHugh said his 2014-19 stint with the Astros, which included a 2017 World Series championship, taught him that what matters most is the consistency in approach, from players and staff. “Everybody, every day, you come in with the same idea,” McHugh said. “You hear (outfielder) Brett Phillips talk about it all the time: ‘I want to be the same guy. I want to be the same guy every day, whether I do great, whether I do poorly, whether I’m somewhere in the middle.’ “I think that approach, both from a personal standpoint and from a professional standpoint, is kind of the secret sauce when it comes to baseball because it is such a long season. To be able to smooth out the mountains and the valleys a little bit and keep everything kind of between the margins makes for a good season. It makes for a competitive team day in and day out. “At the end of the day, the end of the year, the talent and the way you’ve played is going to play itself out over 162 (games). And the great thing about baseball is that the best teams are usually there in the end. And I feel like we’re one of those teams this year.” The path to this point has not been easy. The Rays have constantly shuffled their roster, between bringing up young players (Wander Franco), replacing key injured ones (Tyler Glasnow, Nick Anderson), bringing in new faces (Nelson Cruz) and trading some mainstays, such as shortstop and team leader Willy Adames and reliever Diego Castillo. They already have used 51 total players. “We’ve been pretty consistent this year, even with different personnel coming in and out,” McHugh said. “We traded Willy early in the year, and unsure what that was going to look like both in a clubhouse atmosphere and on the field. And these guys who have come in and stepped up have picked up the reins both behind the scenes in the clubhouse and on the field, where it matters between the lines.” The Rays haven’t been afraid to shuffle their roster this season, including trading away popular shortstop Willy Adames, right. [ DIRK SHADD | Times ] Hitting coach Chad Mottola said that is by design, as the staff recognizes the clubhouse chemistry needs some time to re-formulate after big changes. And is another reason for their relaxed and positive approach no matter the results. “We take pride in being consistent, from the coaching staff from the front office, and they know what they’re going to get out of us despite the outcome of the game,” Mottola said. “So that’s part of it, then they take it from there. But it’s definitely the players’ clubhouse, and they’ve done an unbelievable job despite some of the losses. We’ve added in some other personalities in there as well. But it’s not as easy as they make it look, for sure.” Manager Kevin Cash claimed he didn’t know what to make of the “it” factor talk. “I think it really boils down to that we’re a good team and we’ve got good players and we’ve got a lot of depth that has been tested this year. They have really come through for us,” he said. “And I think with some of our experiences the last two seasons, highly tense moments, high-anxiety, pressure- filled moments, guys found ways to come through. And all that does is kind of give you confidence going forward. And I think we’re seeing that throughout the course of the season.” That seems to sum “it” up. o o o Sign up for the Rays Report weekly newsletter to get fresh perspectives on the Tampa Bay Rays and the rest of the majors from sports columnist John Romano.

    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, July 1, 2020 * The Boston Globe College lefties drafted by Red Sox have small sample sizes but big hopes Julian McWilliams There was natural anxiety for players entering this year’s Major League Baseball draft. Their 2020 high school or college seasons had been cut short or canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They lost that chance at increasing their individual stock, and furthermore, the draft had been reduced to just five rounds. Lefthanders Shane Drohan and Jeremy Wu-Yelland felt some of that anxiety. The two were in their junior years of college. Drohan attended Florida State and Wu-Yelland played at the University of Hawaii. There was a chance both could have gone undrafted and thus would have been tasked with the tough decision of signing a free agent deal capped at $20,000 or returning to school for their senior year. “I didn’t know if I was going to get drafted,” Wu-Yelland said in a phone interview. “My agent was kind of telling me that it might happen, it might not. Just be ready for anything.” Said Drohan, “I knew the scouting report on me was I have the stuff to shoot up on draft boards but I haven’t really put it together yet. I felt like I was doing that this year and then once [the season] got shut down, that definitely played into the stress of it, like, ‘Did I show enough?’ ” As it turned out, both players showed enough. The Red Sox selected Wu-Yelland in the fourth round and Drohan in the fifth.

  • Near-Perfect Archer Fires 1-Hitter, Rays Blank Astros Rays' Mcgee
    Tampa Bay Rays Clips – August 21, 2015 Near-perfect Archer fires 1-hitter, Rays blank Astros By Marc Topkin, Tampa Bay Times HOUSTON — Chris Archer's Thursday night on the Minute Maid Park mound didn't begin well, a four-pitch walk to leadoff man Jose Altuve that flashed back to the struggles in his previous outing. But Archer's night couldn't have ended better, celebrating his complete-game one-hitter in the Rays' 1-0 victory over the Astros in a group jump with three other starting pitchers. "It felt awesome,'' Archer said. "There's really no better feeling than when you accomplish your goals, and it happens so infrequently. It's exhilarating.'' A Rays pitcher hadn't thrown a complete game in nearly a year, since Drew Smyly's gem at Toronto on Aug. 22, 2014, the 154 games in between the longest running streak by an American League team. But the Rays (60-61) needed Archer's masterful performance for more than a historic significance, coming off back-to-back extra-inning walkoff losses that taxed their bullpen and the news that top lefty reliever Jake McGee needed knee surgery and would miss most of, and potentially all of, the rest of the season. Manager Kevin Cash praised Archer for responding to the situation with his 98 pitch, 11-strikeout masterpiece. "It was kind of like an ace knowing what we were faced up against with our bullpen being stretched out the last two nights and he kind of took the game on his shoulders and really delivered,'' Cash said.

  • Rays Rally Past Red Sox, Lead AL East by 5 Games
    Rays rally past Red Sox, lead AL East by 5 games 12:18 AM ET BOSTON — Tampa Bay‘s Francisco Mejia singled with the bases loaded in the ninth, Boston‘s Hunter Renfroe made a costly error on the play, and it helped the Rays rally past the Red Sox 8-4 on Tuesday night. Tampa Bay’s lead in the American League East is now up to five games. The Rays were 2-of-9 with runners in scoring position before Mejia, who entered the game as a defensive substitution in the seventh, delivered a single to right. The ball skipped past Renfroe for an error, and that allowed all three runners to score, giving Tampa Bay a 7-4 lead. “He was ready for it and just laced a big double — whatever it was — right down the line for just huge runs for us,” manager Kevin Cash said. Officially, Mejia was credited with a single and two RBIs, and the Rays added another run on Brandon Lowe‘s single. Louis Head shut down Boston in order in the ninth to finish off the Red Sox, who lost for the 10th time in 12 games. 1 Related Lowe also homered for the Rays, who got a two-run double from pinch hitter Ji-Man Choi to tie it at 4-all in the seventh after Boston had led 4-1. “For Ji to come off the bench like that and put together the at-bat that he does, it’s very impressive and a huge testament to him,” Lowe said.
