Locked On Rays- Daily Podcast On The Tampa Bay Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays are hosting a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates this weekend. Is this the right team to face for the Rays to get off their bad vibes from the Yankees series loss? We certainly hope so. Should Isaac Paredes be getting more at bats while he is scorching hot? Most definitely.

The Tampa Bay Rays once again dropped a series to the New York Yankees by letting a 3-run lead disappear in the later innings through multiple bullpen moves, base running gaffes (have you heard that one before?) on Wednesday night. Frustration is palatable. Can the Rays perform to their standards? Did we see a "Kevin Crash" moment with over-managing the bullpen?

The Tampa Bay Rays have not had the results the fandom expected for the 2022 season, due to injury, uncharacteristic defensive mistakes, lack of offense and base running gaffes. Rays fans have loads to question and we tackle the following:

-Is Harold Ramirez finally getting the numbers of at bats he deserves? Does his bat outweigh the potential defensive drawbacks?

-Is this the worst the Rays offense has been in the last decade?

-Why are we seeing so many Tommy John surgeries with the Rays and in MLB as a whole?

The Tampa Bay Rays fell 4-2 against the New York Yankees on Monday evening, the first game of a 3-game series.

HOWEVER, this episode is part 1 of a 2-volume mailbag episodes. We will discuss the following rays questions and concerns from listeners:

-Who is a realistic option for the Rays to acquire that would be an intimidating fixture in the lineup while changing the dynamic of the offense?

-Are the base running gaffes a fad or a trend for this 2022 squad?

-Is Vidal Bruján pressing? Will he make the adjustments necessary to succeed? Is switch hitting and leading off the right combination for him at this point?

The Tampa Bay Rays were handed yet another loss on their 9 game roadtrip, finishing this abysmal stretch 2-7. The Rays offense had a bright moment on Saturday's game but once again dropped another series against the last place Baltimore Orioles. This is the first time since 2017 that the Rays have dropped consecutive series to the Orioles. Things are not going well in Rays nation. Are the players to blame? Is Kevin Cash not utilizing the roster correctly? Or is it the front office to blame for not shaking it up? As always, let us know what you think in the comments.

Rays Minor League Pitcher for the month of May, Austin Vernon joins the show for a lengthy discussion. Austin is having a terrific start to his professional career, but even more so in that month of May, where in 20.1 innings pitched, he had a 0.44 ERA, 34 strikeouts, 0.74 WHIP. Even more impressive, he faced 76 batters and allowed 0 HR.

Austin shares his love for baseball since his toddler days as bat boy, his high school days as corner infielder and then cementing himself as a pitcher standing at 6'8''. He also mentions his development as a pitcher rather than a thrower, and his ability to control his 4 pitches in the strike zone. Draft memories, a day in the life for him and some fun rapid fire questions will make Rays fans become Austin Vernon fans.

This is Part 2 of a three-part interview.

The Tampa Bay Rays are heading to the house that...Derek Jeter built as they start a 3 game series against the New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers are living up to that nickname but it's also what they are doing on the mound that is impressive. The Rays will be throwing Corey Kluber, Shane McClanahan and Drew Rasmussen while the Yankees have Gerrit Cole, Nestor Cortes and Luis Severino. This will be toughest test for the Rays this season and we will see what this team can do with the best competition available.

Also, Rays fandom has decided that aggressive Randy is the best kind of Randy and we learn about a statistic that could measure how well he is doing.

To close out, we discuss a new student discount ticket options for Rays fans at the Trop.

The Tampa Bay Rays were not able to take the series against the Minnesota Twins during the weekend as they only took the getaway game against the Twins in dominating fashion 6-0. The Rays saw the debut of Shane Baz not go according to plan, as well as Drew Rasmussen imploding on Friday evening. However, Rays fans were treated to yet another great start by Jeffrey Springs, Randy Arozarena acrobatics and, unfortunately, more injuries piling up on the IL with Andrew Kittredge (out for the season) and Mike Zunino (out for a couple weeks).
