Tampa Bay Rays Undefeated 8-0 -Making History However How Far Can They Go?
Sometimes in baseball you think you have seen it all. Home runs, grand slams, matrix style defensive plays, as well as the second coming of Babe Ruth (well hello there Ohtani). Nevertheless, then you get to witness the Tampa Bay Rays undefeated 8-0 start to the 2023 season and realize that this game just keeps giving!
The Tampa Rays are on a historic run as they remain the only team to not lose a single game so far this season. Literally, this is something teams just do not accomplish on the regular. While some MLB teams can get on a hot streak; going eight games is just unheard in these modern times.
Just how irregular is an eight in a row winning streak in baseball? Well, with the Rays most recent win against the Oakland Athletics; they are the first team since the 1930’s to win eight straight games at any point in a season by 4 plus runs. Crazy.
Nevertheless, if you want to get very precise with your MLB history; you have to go all the way back to 1939 to experience this same winning streak phenomena. The team? The Yankees.
The Yankees by many accounts are the “golden standard.” They are an organization that wins and wins big. Therefore, seeing the Rays follow in these same footsteps is something to definitely take note of immediately.

Is this a fluke? NO WAY! To say that would be a major understatement and quite offensive to the Tampa Rays’ achievement.
All spring training the Rays look good and they are obviously carrying over their ‘good looks’ into the 2023 season. They have so far dominated the Detroit Tigers, Oakland Athletics as well as former World Series winner, the Washington Nationals. These wins have included a couple shutouts and some NFL score looking blowouts. However, how long can this historic streak last?
Well, as we all know, in baseball even great teams lose some games every season. However, the Rays are playing well and can definitely emerge from the month of April with a strong standing in their tough division; which includes: the Red Sox, Blue Jays, Yankees and Orioles.
Furthermore, a big test for the Tampa Bay Rays will comes towards the end of April when they face 2022 World Series champions, the Houston Astros. A match-up we will all like to see. As this season goes, it is going to be fun watching the Rays compete and see how this amazing start pans out for them this year.
