[RI CONFIDENCE GRAPH]
The Tampa Bay Rays Confidence Survey
Last week's Rays Confidence Graph results.

Below you will see two polls that ask about your confidence in the Tampa Bay Rays. Please take a moment to answer each question. We will present these same polls every Monday. The results will be presented in graphical form on Wednesday, and will be displayed permanently in the sidebar. The goal of the Confidence Graph is to get a feeling of how Rays fans feel about the team and the franchise and track how that level of confidence changes through time. Thanks!

Raysiverse events of the past week that could impact confidence levels...
  • The Rays are 61-43, 1 game up in the AL East over the Red Sox and 3 games ahead of the Yankees...In the past week three Rays won 2 of 3 from the A's at home and split a 4-game series in Kansas City.

Re Upton: I noticed at fangraphs that his HR/FB % is way down from last season, from 19.8% to 7.1%, while his IFFB% is down. What do you make of it?
