Wild Card Umpire Preview
Photo by Mike Carlson/ Who watches the watchmen? I realized I was in the deep end of both baseball fandom and analytics when the first thing I did when I saw the umpire crew for the Rays vs Rangers series was to check out how good this crew was by their expected metrics. Thankfully, our friends at UmpireScorecards has a tremendous amount of data to query and look through. Their daily scorecards throughout the season are a ton of fun, but their website has so much more, and I was able to use their resources to research the crew for this Wild Card series. The good news...

Rays 12, Blue Jays 8, : Resilient Rays cap off tumultuous season with 99th win
John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports Rays win 99th game of the year behind Aranda’s bat And breathe... Yandy, Randy, and Isaac are still healthy along with Glasnow, Eflin and Fairbanks. Despite everything that this team has endured over the past six months, they will enter October with 99 wins to their name and a formidable core group of players, even if that core is missing key members such as Brandon Lowe, Shane McClanahan, Wander Franco, and the duo of Rasmussen and Springs. Sunday afternoon proved to be the end of a trying six months of baseball for a Rays club...
