Here's the streak by the
#Rays
that I was watching and didn't want to jinx: For the first time in franchise history, they played a full season and did not have a single person ejected from a game by an umpire. Not a player, not a coach, not manager Kevin Cash. Impressive.

Seeing a lot of people since last night asking why Pete Fairbanks is throwing shade at ESPN. Maybe this will explain it.
The Rays’ Pete Fairbanks on ESPN’s desire to see Yankees-Astros: “We said, Well, we’re on the brink, so we might as well ruin their day up there in Connecticut.”

Just remember the series in Boston that took place in mid-August. The Red Sox scored 20 runs in the middle game, but scored a grand total of five runs in the rest of the series. Meanwhile Tampa Bay scored eight runs in each game and ended up taking two of three.

I tend to stay quiet on September 11, because of how much that day in 2001 changed my life forever. Maybe one day I'll tell my story, but even 20 years in, it still feels too raw. Say a prayer for those who lost someone, and be kind to those who are still struggling.

takeaways from Monday night’s win:

Jacob DeGrom improves to 10-9 on the year after getting three runs of support to beat Atlanta.
If he had gotten three runs of support in all 32 starts this year, he'd be 27-1.
If he got four runs of support, he'd be 31-0.
If he got two runs, he'd be 21-6.
