The thing with the Rays is that your team will lose if it's close and you fail to score runs, but if you tag these guys with 4 or more runs, they're pretty much dead in the water with Longo having a bad year and the rest of the bats being average ones at best.

Also with the small ball thing, I'm not a fan of it. There's time and specific plays/situations to do that, but when your home field/entire division happens to be one of the most friendlier places to launch a ball, why pull of a Ned Yost when you can mash it??? Like I said, if you prefer seeing guys play smallball and use their speed, then try following the Royals. They need that kind of game because they play in a pitcher's park and Ned Yost is just being Ned Yost.
