A day by day look at the Kevin Cash Rays in 2019: starters, openers, bulkmen, a crew of interchangeable relievers on a shuttle between St. Pete and Triple A Durham, plus extreme defensive shifts that now and then use pitchers as position players. The Rays Way is to live or die with computer-generated analytics, batter by batter and pitcher by pitcher matchups, and Kevin Cash's outside-the-box baseball mind. This is their 2019 journey.
Monday, September 9. Off Day
Austin Meadows was named AL Player of the Week for the second time this season, as reported in the Tampa Bay Times on Tuesday, September 10. His line for the week: B.A. .522; runs, 9; hits, 12 (two doubles and four home runs); 8 RBIs; 26 total bases; and an OPS (on base plus slugging), 1.130. He couldn't be peaking at a better time, and with any luck at all, he'll keep it up for the last 17 games of the season.
