Brett Rutherford and Darby Robinson take a 30,000-foot view of the 2024 Tampa Bay Rays, now that it's too late to say that it's still early. Stars like Randy Arozarena have struggled, and injuries to key contributors like Josh Lowe and Brandon Lowe have made it even more difficult for the team. Will the Rays look to "blow it up," or stay the course as they try and make a run for their sixth straight postseason appearance?

Brett Rutherford and Darby Robinson discuss Baseball Savant's new bat speed leaderboard and what it means for stats lovers. They take a look at how the Rays fare in terms of bat speed and squared-up swings, and look at some surprising numbers. 
While Jonathan Aranda seems close to rejoining the Rays, Brandon Lowe is taking another visit to a specialist in Nashville. He's still feeling "something" in his oblique, whatever that means. Brett and Darby debate who is on the chopping block should both Aranda and BLowe return soon, with Harold Ramirez's job seeming the most in danger.

Brett Rutherford and Darby Robinson discuss the newly released Rays City Connect uniforms, which lean heavily into the skateboarding culture in the Tampa Bay area, as well as the team's old identity, the Devil Rays. We discuss what we love and what we might change about the uniform set and overall branding, but we are definitely happy campers. 
We also discuss if this might be the first sign of a rebrand for the Tampa Bay Rays, as they continue to bring back the shades of green and purple that they wore in those early years where the baseball wasn't as good. Could a new 'SkyRay' logo be a fresh new start for the team when they open their new stadium in a few years? 
Eventually, we have to talk about baseball, although it's been quite terrible recently. But we don't waste our time sulking, we debate ways the team could improve immediately as players return from injury or get promoted from AAA Durham, including top prospect Junior Caminero.
