Podcasts about steinbrenner field

Former MLB right fielder and current hitting coach for the Tampa Bay Rays Chad Mottola (0:34) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to chat about what makes a great run producer, the types of development paths for his hitters, if batter technology has caught up to pitcher tech, the transition back to playing at Tropicana Field after a season at Steinbrenner Field, the next steps in Junior Caminero's offence, Kevin Cash's managerial philosophy, and how to be athletic in a player's at-bats. Then, MLB Insider and Sportsnet Blue Jays reporter Ben Nicholson-Smith (25:08) takes a look at how the baseball club are either actively looking or just monitoring the pitching market, if an impact player on both sides could be moved earlier in the trade market, the clubhouse vibe around the quarter mark, if John Schneider would consider moving Vlad Jr. in the lineup, Jeff Hoffman's potential return to the 9th inning, Brandon Valenzuela's adjustment to the Majors, and Andrés Giménez's hot bat.  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins drop 2 of 3 to the Tampa Bay Rays at Steinbrenner Field.  The Twins lose their first series since May 1st, and the guys discuss the lack of offensive production being the reason why the team dropped this series. Dan wants to know how many jersey changes Pablo Lopez did during his start, and also wants the Twins to add a Designated Hitter for Keirsey Jr. David wants to know if the offense will pickup with the return of Buxton and Wallner from the IL, and how much will it need to pickup if the pitching stays this dominant. Dan is curious if Royce Lewis weren't Royce Lewis and playing the way he currently plays if he would be sent down. The guys finish up by making their picks for the upcoming Mariners series.

Sho Alli breaks down the Blue Jays' 3-1 loss vs. the Rays to drop the series in Florida at Steinbrenner Field. He takes your calls and texts, and gets into an offensive display from the offence, that saw the team log six hits and five walks...and only one run. Does it fall on the top four batters, or does everyone wear it in games like this? He discusses Anthony Santander starting to (slightly) turn it around, and gets into the outing from José Berríos, who gave the team a chance to win over six innings after allowing a first inning three-run bomb.

Who won the week this week? Jayson Tatum? No! Hart says that it was Alex Bregman who won the week this week. He almost hit for the cycle, damn Steinbrenner Field and he had a son!

Why did Cora call out his coaches and not his team? Dan says that the winner of the week was Jayson Tatum... lame. If Tatum wins this year, he passes almost every single Celtic legend in greatness.

Does Joe Mazzulla reach legend status with a Celtics win this season? Who is the best coach in Boston? Mego thinks it is Joe Mazzulla, and Hart almost agrees. According to the poll, Mike Vrabel is the second best coach in Boston, in front of Cora! Doesn't he have a ring with the Sox?

Send us a textWith TV absent for this week's recording, EstoBro made a call to the bullpen to bring in Tampa Bay Tay as a special guest for the episode. They open the show by discussing the controversial fashion choices made by the MLB this year with new baseball caps (1:15). The pair laugh well over the jokes made all over the internet, followed by formal introductions. Tampa Bay Tay is one of the biggest Tampa Bay Rays fans alongside her dedicated fanship to other Florida-based teams. EstoBro engages her with the ongoing dramatics that have taken place with the team and their home stadium at Tropicana Field (17:30). The primary issue focuses on the Rays playing at Steinbrenner Field for the 2025 season and the politics ownership is facing after Hurricane Milton destroyed the roof of the Tropicana Field. As the pair focuses on the positives the Rays will face for the season, it is rather apparent that the entire baseball universe wants Rays' owner Stu Sternberg to sell the team to a well-rounded group that can move the Rays in the right direction. After the bulk of the show focuses on that topic, the pair also dissect the Rays' season and how they will fair based on predictions (51:00). With new roster additions and some major players coming back from injury, they show their optimism that the Rays can play above expectations and possibly return to the playoffs. With the Tokyo Series taking place this week, EstoBro and Tampa ay Tay also look at the outlook of the rest of the league (68:15), including anticipation for the World Baseball Classic taking place at the start of next season. Theme song made by iamRavedadInteract with the Gents of the podcast on the following social media platforms:X (Formally known as Twitter) YouTube InstagramBlog/websiteJoin the Discord serverSubscribe to the official playlist of the podcast

Vlad Sedler (@rotogut) joins DVR to discuss a few spring news items before digging into February's risers and fallers on draft boards as Wyatt Langford has cruised into the top-40, Junior Caminero has moved into the top-75, and Alex Bregman is making his way back toward the top-100 after landing with the Red Sox. Plus, they discuss a few of the rapidly rising closers whose job outlooks changed over the course of the past months, and a few fallers -- including the draft market's drop of Rays pitching as the Tampa Bay staff will have its home games at Steinbrenner Field in 2025.Rundown2:08 Spring News Updates: Andrew Benintendi, Zach Neto & Hyeseong Kim9:50 February's Rising Hitters: Buying Wyatt Langford in Round 3?25:07 Vlad's Trust in Matt McLain33:48 Isaac Paredes' Rebound Potential in Houston37:01 Relievers with Improved Job Outlooks42:28 Clay Holmes' Draft Stock is Rising46:25 Anticipating a Spencer Schwellenback Jump52:09 February ADP Fallers1:03:04 Most Overvalued/Overdraft Player(s) Currently in Top-75 OverallFollow DVR on Bluesky: @dvr.bsky.socialFollow Vlad on Bluesky: @rotogut.bsky.sociale-mail: ratesandbarrels@gmail.comJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeSubscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHost: Derek VanRiperWith: Vlad SedlerProducer Brian SmithExecutive Producer: Derek VanRiper Hosted on Acast.

Rick Stroud is joined by Tampa Bay Times Rays Beat Writer Marc Topkin to discuss the latest on the Rays Stadium situation including playing at Steinbrenner Field this season, what happens if the Rays don't accept the St. Pete stadium deal and what the options are. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Segment 1 – News and Notes1.The Rays will play their 2024 home games at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. It's hard to say exactly what the hitting and pitching effects will be, but Steinbrenner Field has always benefited offense.a.Will you make draft changes on Rays players based on this information?b.Not to be outdone, the Orioles announced they would move back the left field fences (after cutting the big hole). It should benefit right-handed power.c.Back to Tampa, apparently, their new stadium deal is off – again. I have no idea what this means, but a potential move out of the Tampa/St. Pete area is back on the table.2.Wander Franco got into more trouble. I'm no attorney, but those holding Franco in Dynasty Leagues…it's pass time to give up on him. It would take a miracle to see him play in MLB again.3.Award Predictionsa.AL ROY – Colton Cowser, Luis Gil, and Austin Wellsb.NL ROY – Jackson Chourio, Paul Skenes, and Jackson Merrillc.AL CY Young – Emmanuel Clase, Seth Lugo, and Tarik Skubald.NL CY Young – Chris Sale, Paul Skenes and Zack Wheeler e.AL MVP – Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt Jr., and Juan Sotof.NL MVP – Francisco Lindor, Ketel Marte, and Shohei OhtaniSegment 2 – Fantasy Baseball Questions of the AL Central 1.Detroit Tigersa.Spencer Torkelson is being drafted as the 20th first baseman off the board – after Michael Busch and before Nate Lowe. Are you as high on him at this draft slot as you were last season?b.Javier Baez – over/under 400 ABsi.If a lot less, will they acquire someone or give the job to Trey Sweeney?c.Parker Meadows was my dark horse for AL ROY. Was I a year early?i.2025 stat line: AB, HR, SB, BAd.Jackson Jobe's current ADP is 95. I thought it would be higher. Interested:i.2025 stat line: IP, K's, ERAe.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)2.Kansas City Royalsa.Vinnie P. had a nice step-up year in 2024, with 19 home runs and a .264 batting average. He is currently the 12th first baseman off the board. Is that too high, or do you like the spot?i.Over/Under – 25 home runsb.Maikel Garcia did not have the power upswing I thought he would have, and his .281 OBP is problematic. He is going as the 17th third baseman off the board. Is there growth here, or is he just a light-hitting 3B/2B with speed?i.He still hits the ball hard, but there just isn't any leverage with a 49.5% ground ball rate.c.Seth Lugo will get CY Young votes, but nobody is buying it, as his current ADP is 167 (69th pitcher off the board—52nd starter). Would you take him as your number three starter?d.Kyle Wright missed the entire 2024 with shoulder surgery. I haven't seen much of an update, but he's nearly free in drafts (665). Is it worth a gamble in a Draft and Hold League?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)3.Minnesota Twinsa.The Twins team's talent is excellent. However, it's a problem when your top three players are Buxton, Correa, and Lewis, all of whom can't stay healthy. Do the Twins try to move one or two of them, or cross their fingers and hope they defy the odds and stay healthy?b.2025 stat line for Carlos Correa – AB, HR, BAc.Is Brooks Lee ready for a growth year?i.2025 stat line – AB, HR, SB, and BAii.His current ADP is 431, and while he's only SS eligible on the NFBC, that would make him the 35th-second baseman of the board. Interested?d.Joe Ryan's current ADP is 101. He is the 41st pitcher (30th starter). Would you rather have him as a #2 or #3 starter?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Final Questions1.Who wins the AL Central2.Three teams made it to the playoffs in 2024; how many do you see making it in 2025?
