Locked On Rays- Daily Podcast On The Tampa Bay Rays

ADVERTISE WITH US: [email protected]

The Tampa Bay Rays have had hot streaks and cold ones during this 2022 season but they have yet to find consistency. Are expectations being met by this team? What is more frustrating to see from this team: defensive miscues, base-running gaffes or the lack of hitting? Which rookie could become an everyday player with the Rays? To discuss this and much more, including Baseball Trivia and 'Name That War!', WTSP"s Sports Director Evan Closky joins us on the show!

The Tampa Bay Rays will be getting a key piece of their rotation plans for the 2022 season back this week as Shane Baz will be making his debut during the Minnesota Twins series. As a consequence, lefty Lakeland native Ryan Yarbrough has been sent down to AAA. Rays fans have been waiting to see the best pitching prospect of the Tampa Bay system and now the wait is over. To discuss this and much more, WTSP's Sports Director Evan Closky joins us on the show.

Mailbag Wednesday!

Although we are all very happy about the Taylor Walls incredibly delightful walk-off homerun against the St. Louis Cardinals to open up the series, this episode was recorded 3 hours prior to that fantastic moment. Regardless, let's open up the virtual mailbag and have some fun with questions from you, the listener!

What a rare sight it is to see the St. Louis Cardinals at the Trop but it is happening for the next home series with the Rays.

How many potential Hall of Famers are wearing a Cardinals jersey right now? This is a tough team that's beating their easy division rivals and could potentially take their division from the Milwaukee Brewers. This will be a fun and contended series with loads of good pitching, defense and timely hitting.

The Tampa Bay Rays were not able to get the series win against the Chicago White Sox who came into town and took the last 2 games in one-run fashion. However, when the dust settled, the Rays made national news as it was made known that 5 pitchers opted to not participate in wearing the Pride Rays gear on Saturday's game. We also discuss the future path for four rookies and the question of who will have more sustained success in MLB: Vidal Bruján, Josh Lowe, Isaac Paredes or Taylor Walls.

The Tampa Bay Rays were able to split the series at Tropicana Field by taking the last 2 games of the four-game series in some tightly, contested fashion. Although the offense was not as potent as it can be, it was the pitching staff that rose to the occasion, highlighted by Opening Dat starter and hopeful All-Star, Shane McClanahan.

The Rays who are now in Texas dropped the first game, which started with a bad sign with Ji-Man Choi's blast being robbed by Eli White in centerfield. Can the Rays win the next two games at Globe Life?
