Locked On Rays- Daily Podcast On The Tampa Bay Rays

ADVERTISE/LIVE BROADCAST WITH US: [email protected]

The Tampa Bay Rays have made it two wins in a row, which hasn't happened since before the All-Star break by beating the Detroit Tigers 6-2. The Tigers offense has been historically awful, dancing around a .616 OPS and after more than 100 games, not reaching 70 HRs. Can the Rays rack up wins during this four-game series?

As this is a Friday episode, we have baseball trivia and 'Name That WAR!'.

The Tampa Bay Rays fandom had to say goodbye to a cult hero, who not only gave magical moments to a lot of people but was also a hometown kid: Brett Phillips was DFA'd by the Tampa Bay Rays. Although the Rays gave Brett every chance he got to get his offense going, it never came. His defense, though impressive, could not carry his lack of offense anymore. In other news, another hometown hero, Matt Joyce has announced his retirement. Underrated career, the Tampa kid that surprised so many gets highlighted on the show.

The Tampa Bay Rays have been busy in the last 48 hours as the Trade Deadline approaches. Their biggest move included a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks for LF David Peralta in exchange for Christian Cerda, a young catching prospect playing in the Florida Complex League. The Rays also were involved in a three-team trade with the Houston Astros and the Baltimore Orioles as they traded away 2 pitching prospects Jayden Murray and Seth Johnson and in return received speedy OF Jose Siri. To dissect these topics, a Locked On Crossover with Locked On Diamondbacks host, Millard Thomas is a must watch for Rays fans.

The Tampa Bay Rays were not able to get the series win against the Cleveland Guardians at the Trop after splitting the first 2 games but dropping Sunday’s affair 5-3. Although the Rays had their ace and Cy Young frontrunner Shane McClanahan, the Guardians were able to get to him with soft contact, including well placed bunts and bloopers all around the field. The offense had its chances but their 2022 base running mistakes saw those chances disappear.

Also, Trade Deadline questions and Shohei Ohtani polls make the episode a little bit more spicy at the end!

The Tampa Bay Rays were not able to salvage a split against the Baltimore Orioles by dropping the fourth game 3-0. The getaway game featured an unfortunate fly ball that was lost in the sun by Josh Lowe which scored two of the three runs. On the Rays pitching side, Ryan Yarbrough was nails, using his cutter effectively and getting ahead of hitters with first-pitch strikes. The Rays have gone 8-6 in their last 14 games.

Rays fandom seems to be split into two camps, a hyper negative side and an unrealistic positive one. Why are those the only two options?

Although the Rays are in the midst of a four-game losing skid, we have to move forward today by concentrating on all the questions that Rays fans keep sending, such as:

-What would be the ripple effect for Rays fandom if Juan Soto landing with the New York Yankees?

-Ian Happ and Willson Contreras from the Chicago Cubs are likely to be moved...what would the Rays need to give up to acquire both of their talents?

-Should the Rays trade Corey Kluber?

The Tampa Bay Rays were handed their third straight loss and first one of the Baltimore series by a score of 5-1. However, the biggest news coming to Rays nation was that both Kevin Kiermaier (hip labrum) and Mike Zunino (Thoracic Outlet Syndrome) would be out for the rest of the season. Being on their last year of their respective guaranteed deals, does this mark the end of both clubhouse leaders with the Rays?

The Tampa Bay Rays were not able to get the series win against the Kansas City Royals coming out after the All-Star Break. Although they took the first game of the series in smooth fashion, Saturday and Sunday games escaped them through lack of consistent hitting and defensive mistakes(have you heard that one before?). The Rays look to get back into a good mood by traveling for a four-game series against the newly-turned-good, Baltimore Orioles.
