November 12, 2020 16:10 - 42 minutesKevin and Ulises continue their ongoing 2020 Tampa Bay Rays player review by looking at the play of reliever Nick Anderson and outfielder Randy Arozarena.

Hot Stove? More Like Crock-Pot
November 02, 2020 15:22 - 41 minutesWell, the 2020 MLB season is over, but the baseball drama isn't over by any means. The Tampa Bay Rays wasted no time in making a bevy of roster moves over the weekend, including declining the options of Charlie Morton and Mike Zunino, and letting go of catchers Michael Perez, Kevan Smith and injured relievers Andrew Kittredge and Chaz Roe. What's the Rays forthcoming plan here, and will the team actually go out and make a move for a relatively prominent catcher? And, more decisions loom, as t...

Blake's Beef
October 29, 2020 13:31 - 33 minutesKevin and Ulises continue to stew on the Tampa Bay Rays's disappointing World Series Game 6 loss, in which Blake Snell was preemptively removed from the game in the sixth inning. Going forward, will this decision (and the franchise's general edict of not allowing starters to go deep in ballgames) create some hostility between Snell and the Rays coaching staff/front office? With his big payday on the books, could this be the beginning of the end of Snell in a Rays uniform? Consider his past co...

October 22, 2020 14:11 - 24 minutesThe Tampa Bay Rays square up the World Series at a game apiece, defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 in a contest where the team's franchise cornerstones--starter Blake Snell, 2B Brandon Lowe--helped carry the team to victory, in addition to major contributions from "The Stable" bullpen and Mr. Plays-The-Game-The-Right-Way Joey Wendle. Should the Dodgers be concerned they really only have two legitimately trusted starters (Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler)? Is the Rays offense turning a co...
Rays Crash Against Kershaw
October 21, 2020 13:47 - 28 minutesIn World Series game 1, the Tampa Bay Rays were systematically outhit, outpitched, out fielded, and even out managed when Kevin Cash decided to leave starter Tyler Glasnow into the game, instead of going to the bullpen early-- which the team has customarily done throughout this entire playoff run. So, where do the Rays go from here, and can former Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell carry the team against a Dodgers club that right now looks every bit as good as advertised. Kevin and Ulises disc...
