Autopsy of the 2024 season

Brett Rutherford and Darby Robinson try to dissect the difference between bad process and bad results in the lead-up to the 2024 season, and which decisions by the front office had the most adverse effects on the team's performance. We focus on the trade that brought the Rays Jose Caballero in exchange for Luke Raley, and why the trade seemed like a win for both teams, Kevin Cash's insistence on playing Taylor Walls at shortstop when healthy makes this a puzzling move.

A look ahead to the future.

Trade Deadline Recap

Brett Rutherford and Darby Robinson break down every trade the Rays made ahead of the Tuesday, July 30 deadline.

They discuss the energy that Christopher Morel brings to the Rays clubhouse and the potential that top prospect Dylan Lesko brings into the farm system. To end the show, Brett and Darby celebrate the news that the Rays new stadium is full steam ahead after the Pinellas County Board of Commissioners made the final approval for the Historic Gas Plant District development deal.

Stadium deal passed by St. Pete City Council

Brett Rutherford and Danny Russell break down the news that the redevelopment of the Historic Gas Plant District will move forward with the Rays/Hines plan to center it around a new ballpark that will keep the Rays in St. Petersburg for generations to come. This is a long time coming for the franchise, whose goal it's been to build a new stadium since Stuart Sternberg took over the team in 2005. Brett and Danny debate what this deal means for the future of the Rays. They also preview the start of the second half which begins on Friday against the Yankees, and go through some of the more interesting names in the Rays 2024 draft class.

Civale and Maton traded, Wander Franco formally charged

Brett Rutherford is joined by Danny Russell and Ian Malinowski, going live right after the final out was recorded in a 5-4 win over the Yankees on Thursday. They discuss everything wacky that happened during a tense three-game set with the Bronx Bombers. Since the last time you heard from us the Rays traded two veteran pitchers, sending Aaron Civale to Milwaukee and Phil Maton to the New York Mets. Ian and Danny share their insight and break down what these trades mean for the Rays pitching staff the rest of the year. Wander Franco was formally charged in the Dominican Republic, and for the time being the Rays will not be paying him his salary. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Three straight series wins for the good guys!

Brett Rutherford and Darby Robinson discuss how the Rays have begun to right the ship in their 2024 season, getting back to .500 and winning three consecutive series (at the time of recording). The last time you heard from us, we said this team wasn't good enough. While we still think there are some holes in the roster, the Rays are starting to prove us wrong. They may be just good enough to give us hope and stay in the Wild Card race through the summer. Now that we are heading into July and the standings have changed a bit, we finish the show discussing who the potential trade pieces are as we inch closer to the deadline.

Who’s on Worst is Best

Not a Rays fan, or any MLB fan at all anymore, nothing against it, I just don’t have the time to be a dedicated fan anymore. However, I love bad baseball movies, and I’ve seen a lot of them. So it’s a sub from me for this content.
Informative and Entertaining

I have listened to both episodes now and found them informative, entertaining, and well laid out. I've very much enjoyed the product that's been put out. My one small bit of criticism is the audio quality. Listening to the cast in the car, I've noticed I have to crank the volume very high to be able to hear comfortably. As a result, any time a notification or turn by turn audio prompt comes in, it's deafeningly loud. Stablizing the mic to reduce movement noise and adding a De-esser would also be, in my opinion, an improvement to the audio. Over-all great work, super enjoyable, and very well thought out. I'm excited to continue to listen to Rays Your Voice through the season.
Well researched and thorough

You got a great thing here. A few first podcast bugs to work out in audio, like the mic bumps and movement. It seemed well though out and researched. I can tell you are not just a typical fan with a mic. I look forward to more episodes throughout the season. Go Rays!
