1. Brendan McKay has been M.I.A. since 2019 due to injuries. Should the fandom believe he will be wearing a Rays uniform and be on the mound for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2022?

2. As of Monday evening, Tampa Bay Rays 1B Ji-Man Choi is on fire! He is slashing .351/.500/.622 with an 1.122 OPS. Let's add the fact that he has reached base in 12 of 13 plate appearances since the start of last season. What can we expect from Ji-Man?

3. Wander Franco has lit the world on fire with his offensive and defensive prowess on the field. Does he have protection in the lineup? Why are teams still pitching to El Patrón?

After 22 innings pitched this year, he has collected 31 strikeouts and leads the AL with 31 as of Sunday evening. In his latest start, he dominated the Red Sox by lasting 7 innings while allowing 2 runs in the first inning. Along with the punchouts, he has a 2.45 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 2.27 FIP &137 ERA+.

A weekend filled with Tampa Bay Rays clutch performances, the Rays were able to take 2 out of 3 games from the Boston Red Sox during the weekend series at Tropicana Field. Although Friday's game showcased Wander's 2-HR performance, that wasn't enough to get it done. The boys battled this weekend for a comeback, walk-off victory off the bat of Kevin Kiermaier on Saturday (his first ever walk-off home-run). Saturday's game had started as a combined no-hitter on a bullpen day for the Rays! Sunday's affair saw some clutch hitting by Yandy and Ji-Man Choi and the ace-like start by Shane McClanahan going 7 full innings providing some needed rest to the bullpen.

The Tampa Bay Rays fandom has a bitter taste after the disappointing end to the 2021 season that saw the team won 100 games and be outed from the playoffs in 4 games in the ALDS against the Boston Red Sox. This weekend the Rays will meet their rivals in Tropicana Field and see some familiar faces in both Michael Wacha and Rich Hill. As this is a FUN FRIDAY episode, there is baseball trivia and 'Name That WAR!'.

The Tampa Bay Rays leave cold and windy Chicago with a 3-3 record after facing both the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox. The Rays offense came alive in the north side of Chicago when they took the last 2 games averaging 7 runs. Wander Franco keeps playing high-quality baseball and it is amazing to watch. Drew Rasmussen has been seeing less whiffs and chase rates and keeps getting hit quite hard. What is the solution to that?

Also, Jalen Beeks has returned from TJ surgery and has looked impressive for the Rays. Is he the next Andrew Kittredge for the Rays?

For this Mailbag Wednesday, Kevin & Ulises take three emails from Tampa Bay Rays fans all over the world tackling the following:

-Besides Wander Franco, Randy Arozarena and Brandon Lowe, who else can the fandom lean on for massive offensive production?

-What can we expect from Harold Ramirez batting....3rd?

-The Rays are shifting to more athletic baseball players...what is the reason behind this?

AND MUCH MORE!

The Tampa Bay Rays were treated to harsh winter conditions in the not-so-friendly confines of Wrigley Field on Monday evening losing to the Chicago Cubs 4-2. Although there was much left to be desired from a passive Rays offense, Shane McClanahan pitched like the ace of the staff yesterday, collecting 9 K's in 6 strong innings, climbing the Strikeout leaderboard in all MLB.

The 2022 season has seen 2 types of Tampa Bay Rays baseball, one that is confident and is able to execute the little things and another that has recently faltered in defense, has seen base running gaffes and not getting those key hits on the offensive side of the ball. This weekend against the Chicago White Sox saw the team rejuvenated on Sunday getting their most runs in the season but saw them drop the series after back to back 3-2 losses.

-Was Apple TV a good broadcast?

-What can we expect from Taylor Walls?

-What will be the dip in the offense from 2021 to 2022?

It was a deflating four-game series loss against the Oakland A's this week for the Tampa Bay Rays, who seemed off-kilt from the start. Is it time for Rays fans to panic about the team? Kevin and Ulises share their thoughts on why it's not sensible to do so. As this is a Friday episode, the duo preview the series against the Chicago White Sox, wonder about Sunday's starter for the Rays and of course, play baseball trivia and 'Name That WAR!'.
