There's no other way to put it: the Tampa Bay Rays don't have an identity right now and it's contributed to a lack of performances in recent weeks, now 10-14 overall as injuries, especially in the outfield, have piled up.While reinforcements might be on the way soon, this current team needs to find themselves to re-establish a foundation for future success in 2025.Thanks so much for listening!

We would have loved for our 200th episode of Rays The Roof to be juuuust a bit happier, but with the uncontrolled chaos it seems going on right now with the Tampa Bay Rays, we just have to ride the wave.

Recent news with Pinellas County has now created even more of a situation regarding Tropicana Field as potential funds for the new stadium on the Trop site is up in the air as a vote on the matter was pushed back three weeks, partly due to the current situation on where the Rays will play in 2025. While we don't know what will come of this, we do know more drama is in the air!

Tampa Bay keeps getting hit harder and harder after we learned yesterday of the passing of USF men's basketball coach Amir Abdur-Rahim, someone who became a staple in the community within just 19 months of being there.

What a last 24 hours it's been in the Tampa Bay, Sarasota and Bradenton areas, let alone Central Florida, Port Charlotte, Fort Myers and other affected areas. It's a period all of us would like to forget as Hurricane Milton wreaked havoc on our area, tearing the roof of Tropicana Field, producing dozens of tornadoes and causing incredible damage. We hope this podcast can bring some good vibes, laughter, anything to help lift the spirits of the area we call home and care so much about. We are #TampaBayStrong and #FloridaStrong

There's really nothing else to it: the 2024 Tampa Bay Rays season has officially come to an end.

We are nearly at the finish line for the 2024 Tampa Bay Rays season, but in typical Rays fashion, they're still not out of it going into the last week of the year. What a great way to end the home slate and maybe, we'll see some chaos happen over these final six games. Thanks so much for listening!

There are officially 12 games left in the 2024 season for the Tampa Bay Rays and with a sub-.500 record and a multi-game Wild Card deficit, it's safe to say that this season will not end in a sixth-straight playoff appearance. For Rays fans, the end of the season is bittersweet. This team is not a good baseball team, but despite how bad they are, baseball is still fun to watch...sometimes. Hopefully, there will be some fun baseball left in 2024 for Tampa Bay. Thanks so much for listening! You can follow RTR on social media @RaysTheRoofTB and be sure subscribe to the podcast!

It doesn't look like the Rays are going to go on some miraculous late-season playoff push, especially with how this West Coast road trip has gone. However, the recent call-up of Junior Caminero might be the spark plug this team needs to not continue to stay at .500. We discuss that and more on this latest episode of the podcast!

The record for most times a team has spent at the .500 mark in one season is 35. The Rays have now done it 27 games...and it's only mid-August. The call-up of Junior Caminero might change that, but if the Rays don't hit .500 36 times this season, we riot. More Junior talk to come on our next podcast! Thanks so much for listening!

What an eventful week it's been for Rays fans, from the conclusion of the MLB trade deadline to officially getting a stadium deal secured with St. Pete and Pinellas County.

There's just something bad in the water whenever the Rays and Rangers play because as usual, it was a Texas-sized sweep in Arlington. Tampa Bay's series winning streak was snapped at five and the Rays fell below the .500 mark once again.

It's hard to gauge where the Rays are as a franchise because simply put, they're nowhere close to a playoff team, but nowhere near the worst team in baseball, a solid middle of the pack franchise in 2024. Things could of course change, but for now, the biggest battle for Tampa Bay is getting back to the .500 mark. Thanks so much for listening!

Tampa Bay Times St. Pete reporter Colleen Wright came on to discuss where things stand with the Rays stadium proposal and WFLA Weekend Sports Anchor Kenny Morales came on to talk about what he's seen on the field this season, a lot of inconsistency to say the least.

What a run the Rays have been on this homestand, winning five of their first six games to get back to .500 on the season. The vibes are back and everything has been trending upward. It might be 'The Luck of the SkyRay', but whatever it is, we'll take it! Great timing too with a big series coming up this weekend against the Yankees. Thanks so much for listening!

This episode was for Tampa Bay...literally.

Not a great week for the Rays at all, losing two-straight series to the Yankees and Tigers, but through the turbulence of this season, the Rays sit at 13-13 going into the weekend. How?

The Rays just wrapped up a winning homestand at the Trop, though when we recorded this, they had just suffered a tough 5-4 loss against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. Luckily, we had some good vibes to talk about thanks to Makenzie Cann and her 13-year old golden retriever, Raffi, who has taken over the Tampa Bay sports sphere after shooting their shot with the Rays to get to Sunday's 'Bark in the Park' game.
