This episode was for Tampa Bay...literally. The Tampa Bay Rays released their Grit x Glow City Connect jerseys and campaign to the public on Monday morning and we spent this episode talking about this, easily one of the coolest days in franchise history, and something it seems this region and across baseball has embraced.

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? We have no clue. We brought on RTR member Caden Carpenter to give his thoughts about the season, plus much more analysis on the team and the rest of baseball on this latest episode of the podcast!

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.

The World Series is over. Awards season has wrapped up. That can only mean one thing: the offseason for Major League Baseball has arrived. The Rays have already made some moves here and there, mostly small acquisitions, but with GM Peter Bendix now in Miami, a new era of front office moves is once again here. We talk about all of that and more on this latest episode of Rays The Roof, our first true offseason episode this offseason.

The title of the episode says it all. There were warning signs for days, weeks, even months with the Tampa Bay Rays this season, and while we wanted to see it out, holding hope, the season came to a crash landing in the Wild Card Series, getting swept by the Texas Rangers at home.

We discuss what was an incredibly successful season with an all too familiar end on this latest episode of Rays The Roof.

That game was atrocious. What a worse way to introduce the baseball world to the 2023 Tampa Bay Rays on a postseason stage than with what happened on Tuesday at Tropicana Field. We talk about whatever performance the Rays decided to give on the field in our instant reaction podcast following Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series.

The Tampa Bay Rays have officially let the champagne flow a bit later than a lot of people thought, but guess what, baseball is weird, the Rays are weird, and it makes it all the better knowing that the Rays would do something different, something unique when it comes to postseason celebrations.

The final homestand for the Tampa Bay Rays might not have gone the way that we would have wanted as Rays fans, but one thing that took us by surprise on Thursday was the call-up of top prospect Junior Caminero from Double-A Montgomery.

Holy crap, nearly two decades of waiting is over as the Tampa Bay Rays have announced a new stadium deal with the City of St. Petersburg on the existing Tropicana Field site to be built by the beginning of the 2028 season.

Simply put, this is the biggest series of the season. Rays. Orioles. Four games at Camden Yards with just two games separating the two teams in the AL East. The Rays' four-best pitchers against the best arms from the O's. It's what you want. It's what you crave, and it expects to be fantastic baseball. We talk about that and more on this latest episode of Rays The Roof.

A win in their series finale against the Atlanta Braves was just what the Braves needed. Add on an extra boost from the All-Star Game in Seattle, and it seemed like the perfect momentum swing...for two games that is. Since their first two wins against the Royals, the Rays have lost four-straight, including being swept against the Rangers. Now, the Rays and Orioles are tied atop the AL East, making this weekend's four games series all the more important.

It has not been an easy last 10 games for the Rays, who went 3-4 on their West Coast road trip and are 4-6 overall in that 10-game span. They look to turn the corner, retaining the best record in the AL East and all of baseball this weekend, with three games left in their four-game set against the Kansas City Royals.

Let's just pretend the Rays never played in New York this season because this last week has been a difficult one. The Rays finish the road trip with a 3-4 record in New York, but hopefully, the good vibes will come back as they head to the Trop for a 10-game homestand. We talk about all of that and more on this latest episode of Rays The Roof.

Now, the Rays host their AL East rival, the New York Yankees, for a weekend set in front of what should be some big time crowds at the Trop.

The Houston Astros came to down and just like how they stole signs back in 2017, they stole the mojo of the Rays at home, taking two of three at America's Ballpark. Houston is the real deal and the Rays are now 2-4 against contenders this season. We talk about this recent slide ahead of Tampa Bay's four-game road trip to Chicago this weekend.

The Tampa Bay Rays are now 13-0. THIRTEEN AND ZERO. They've tied the modern day MLB record for the best start to a season following a four-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox. We don't know to process this, but we're going to enjoy this as much as we can.

You are not reading that title incorrectly. The Tampa Bay Rays remain the lone undefeated team in MLB and have done so in a dominant fashion not seen by baseball fans in decades, even more than a century.

We welcomed on Bally Sports Rays sideline reporter Ryan Bass to talk about this historic start as he begins his second season with the team. Be sure to follow Ryan on social media and look out for him at games this season.
