In this episode of the Locked On Rays podcast, hosts Kevin Weiss and Ulises Sambrano banter about the Tampa Bay Rays gut-wrenching 9-8 loss to the Kansas City Royals that spoils an otherwise impressive road trip. Who's to blame for the avoidable loss? Willy Adames, Jeffrey Springs, Diego Castillo, or simply a hat tip to the Royals excellent small-ball execution. Also, the boys have an in-depth discussion about the MLB considering a "double hook" DH and moving the mound back to a foot to 61 feet, 6 inches--two changes being studied in the independent Atlantic League ranks. What are the implications, and are they good ideas to make the game more palatable?
