  • The best Rays coverage

    Kevin and Ulises have awesome chemistry and are full of not only Rays knowledge, but baseball knowledge! There simply is no better Rays podcast out there. Even Closkey brings something when he’s on the show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MAILBAG: Tampa Bay Rays' Freddy Peralta DOMINATES Former New York Mets Teammates
Q: Should the Rays have claimed Luis Robert Jr. off waivers if they had the chance, given the cost and injury history?
The hosts conclude that claiming Luis Robert Jr. would not have been a smart move for the Rays due to the price, injury history, and the availability of other productive options already in-house like Valade, DeLuca, and Victor Mesa Jr.; they prefer sticking with the current young outfield group and minimizing long-term risk.
MAILBAG: Tampa Bay Rays LOSING Momentum As Nick Martinez Has ROUGH Outing
Q: Robert from Pensacola asks how the Rays can rebound after Nick Martinez's rough outing and whether the team is still in a strong position to contend.
The hosts acknowledge the rough outing and stress that one game does not define a season, emphasizing the need for length from the starters and balanced bullpen use going forward, while recognizing that continued strong performance by the Rays is still very much possible given their overall standing.
Tampa Bay Rays’ Four-Game LOSING Streak EXPOSES Critical Injuries
Q: First, Evan, your initial thoughts on when the Rays acquired Kimbrel and your expectations for him in a Rays uniform.
Kimbrel is a veteran presence who can bring a few more punchouts to a bullpen that is a work in progress, especially given recent injury gaps, and should help stabilize late-inning situations even if his peak stuff isn't what it was at his prime.
Tampa Bay Rays ACQUIRE Legendary Reliever Craig Kimbrel Amid Pitching Injuries
Q: What do you think of the Rays adding Craig Kimbrel?
Kimbrel is viewed as a high-upside veteran who can provide immediate bullpen depth, potential mentorship for younger pitchers, and a flexible late-inning option, even if he's not the same closer he once was; the signing is seen as a low-risk, potentially high-reward move given the Rays' injury situation.
World Series Champion LHP Mike Stanton BREAKS DOWN Reasons Why The Tampa Bay Rays Are Winning Part I
Q: What aspects of the Rays' approach stand out compared to traditional teams?
The guest highlights the Rays' emphasis on sustainable, data-informed decision making balanced with practical, understandable messaging for players, and their ability to build a strong locker room culture while navigating injuries and a non-traditional path to success.
