With the news that MLB will be implementing some rule changes, let's talk about them.

What do we think about the pitch clock? Can pitchers like Pete Fairbanks and Ryan Yarbrough adjust? Will the bigger bags help fast, dynamic players like Jose Sirí, Randy Arozarena and Manuel Margot steal more bags next year? What about no pick off moves after a second attempt? Lastly, what about the 'banning' of shifts? Can some teams like the Rays get creative and make up a loophole?

The Tampa Bay Rays were successful this weekend by taking 2 out of 3 games from the Texas Rangers. Although they dropped the first affair on Friday, they had bases loaded and lost a one-run game. The bats did just enough in the next two games and the pitching has kept up its pace and delivered. Now, the Rays will face another team from Texas, the Houston Astros for three games and the Astros’ magic number to clinch is 1. Could this mean that the Rays will face a weaker lineup on Tuesday and Wednesday if Houston pulls a win on Monday and/or the Seattle Mariners lose?

The Tampa Bay Rays have dropped three out of four games against the Toronto Blue Jays. They will be looking for some redemption from their ace, Shane McClanahan, who will be making his return to the mound from his short stint on the Injured List. Though he will probably be on a shorter leash than usual, the pitching staff should be revitalized by his presence.

To spice up this Thursday episode, the discussion turns to a single question: Is hosting the wildcard the best option for the Rays? Is it easier to be the third wildcard and face the winner of the AL Central, a weaker opponent on paper?

Evan Closky, WTSP's Sports Director joins the show to chat about this and much more!

The Tampa Bay Rays started the weekend in tremendous fashion, having Drew Rasmussen twirl a gem against the New York Yankees on Derek Jeter Night. However, the next two days did not see fireworks from the Rays but plenty from the Bronx Bombers as they took the series by blows. Corey Kluber did not make it out of the first inning on Saturday and Luis Patiño did not make it out of the second inning on Sunday. With the division largely out of play, it is the first wildcard spot that should be the aim for the rest of the season for the Rays.

The Tampa Bay Rays are heading to the house that Derek Jeter built. This will be the final head to head matchup between the two clubs during the regular season. The season series has the Yankees with the upper hand, 9-7, but a Rays sweep would mean the head to head matchup victory for the Rays and the shrinking of the AL East division lead. Can the Rays do it? Who will be sent down when Drew Rasmussen and Wander Franco make their return to the active roster? For this, baseball trivia and 'Name That WAR!', WTSP's Sports Director Evan Closky joins the show!

The Tampa Bay Rays swept the 3 game series against the Boston Red Sox by taking the final game 1-0. The Rays offense did just enough during the series to take the three games but it has been the pitching doing the work. The Rays have a 1.60 ERA (73-IP, 13-ER) in their last 8 games and a 2.19 ERA (218-IP, 53-ER) in their last 24 games, lowest in the majors since Aug 13th! To talk about the sweep, the media game and what the landscape for September looks like, WTSP's Sports Director Evan Closky joins the show!
