  2. One More Game at America's Ballpark

    Season 1, Episode 310

    Show notes

    Just one win. Drew Rasmussen said it best: "Gotta see one go through the net", and the Rays did just that last night in a 4-3 walk-off win against the Brewers in Game 4 of the World Series, but will that be the last win of the season? The Rays sure hope not. Plenty of postgame interviews and pregame interviews between Game 4 & Game 5 for you on this latest episode of the pod.

    Season 1, Episode 292

    How could last weekend have gotten any better? The Rays' proposed new stadium in Tampa is officially a full go after receiving nearly $900 million in public funding from the City of Tampa and Hillsborough County, ending (for now) what's been a saga that's lasted two decades in Tampa Bay.

    Just as plans for the future home of the Rays have been finalized, the team finished a weekend sweep of the San Diego Padres in thrilling fashion with an improbable walk-off win on Sunday, a series this team was destined to win after the stadium news came out.
