    3-Game Win Streak, Return to Tropicana Field, Rest of Cubs Series Preview.

    Baseball was played at Tropicana Field for the first time in 561 days and the Rays delivered with a convincing win over the Chicago Cubs. Junior Caminero, Jonathan Aranda, and Cedric Mullins all left the yard, Chandler Simpson was amped up for almost every play he was involved in, and the pen was nails after Shane McClanahan's 4 innings. We also talked about the last two games of the Twins series, including a golf swing HR from Junior Caminero and strong outings from both Steven Matz and Nick Martinez. The Rays are currently 5-5 and look to take the series against Chicago before they welcome the New York Yankees.

    Rays Playing Uncharacteristic Baseball, Starting Pitching, and Early Minor League Shoutouts.

    The Rays have been playing a rough stretch of baseball to start the year. They have the worst team defense this year with -7 OAA and -7 DRS, and it has snowballed at times. The starting pitching, however, has looked great with recent strong outings from Drew Rasmussen and Joe Boyle, who is throwing less 4-Seam and tapping more into his secondaries. We also talk about the next two matchups of the Twins series and some minor league standouts including Brody Hopkins, Jacob Melton, and Taitn Gray. Thank you guys for the support so far!

  3. 1 DE ABR.

    Recapping First Two Games of Brewers Series, Simpson Impact, Previewing Rasmussen vs. Misiorowski.

    Shane McClanahan, for the first time in 973 days, made a start in a major league baseball game and looked very promising in terms of his secondaries. Nick Martinez made his Rays debut and was throwing tons of strikes and mixing his pitches effectively in the zone. In game 1, Jonny DeLuca hit his farthest HR at the MLB level after we talked about him on the last podcast, and Nick Fortes delivered a clutch RBI on a pitch that might have been 7-8 inches off the plate. Yandy Díaz smacked a leadoff HR, and according to Baseball Reference (Stathead), Díaz was the first player to have 11 hits in the first 4 games of a season since Adrián González did it with the Dodgers back in 2015. Díaz has collected mostly singles out of his 11 hits. In game 2, Jonathan Aranda continued to work the entire field and smoked a 102.8 MPH EV, 388 FT HR, Jake Fraley had himself a nice day at the plate with 2 hits including a 107.8 MPH double, and Nick Fortes had 3 balls hit over 95 MPH and a 408 FT HR. We also talked about Chandler Simpson and his impact. We also preview today's pitching matchup and will get an episode out tomorrow recapping the series and previewing the Twins series. Thank you guys for the support.

    Opening Series Recap, Standouts, Notes From Opening Weekend for Durham.

    The Rays played like a better team than their 1-2 record currently shows, leading in Batting Average (.339), Hits (41), 2nd in OBP (.397), and were 3rd in Runs Scored (23). This highlights some of our spring and off-season thoughts on the team making a shift to a more contact-oriented approach and a team that will put the ball in play and make the defense work.Yandy Díaz had a historic day at the plate, Carson Williams continues to show off his improved hit tool and presence at the MLB level, and Joe Boyle showed off his new mix while not allowing a walk. We also highlight Tre' Morgan's great start to the season and Brody Hopkins unleashing his mix in his first AAA start, with a breaking ball that might be the best in baseball, let alone across Minor League Baseball.

  5. 27 DE MAR.

    Opening Day Recap, Game 2 Preview, & Lineup Construction.

    The contact improvements addressed in the offseason were evident today with 17 hits, competitive at-bats, and standout days from multiple players. Jonathan Aranda had himself a 2-hit day with an impressive HR, while Yandy Diaz, Nick Fortes, and Ben Williamson all had 3-hit games, with Diaz standing out after leading all of baseball in hard-hit baseballs last season and Fortes impressing after striking out just once all spring. Drew Rasmussen looked strong in his 5 innings of work before a rough outing from Ian Seymour. Overall, there were a lot of positives from the group and we are excited to bring daily game recaps and other news as minor league baseball starts soon.

    A Week in Review of Rays Spring Training

    In this episode, we look back at the last week of Rays Spring Training and go over some early standouts. Junior Caminero is already stacking 110+ EVs, Jacob Melton launched a 112+ MPH homer, Yandy Diaz left the yard the other way multiple times, and Theo Gillen showed his mature approach with an eight pitch walk in his first spring AB. On the mound, Steven Matz and Ryan Pepiot each threw scoreless innings in their first outings, Jake Woodford has been steady, and Ty Johnson has carried over his swing and miss stuff after posting a 17.7% SwStr% last year. We also touch on Drew Rasmussen mixing in a new changeup, along with a few other arms who have looked sharp early. Still early, but some really good signs from this past week.
