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. Tampa Bay sports media personality & St. Pete Nine's Steve Carney joined us to talk about what to expect with today's Pinellas County Commissioners meeting and more.

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.
We remember the enduring legacy AAR will have on the Tampa Bay sports community, as well as give updates on the state of Tropicana Field, plus give our World Series predictions on this latest episode of RTR.

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. The offseason is now here as the playoffs start up, and the only thing we as fans can do is watch from the sidelines.

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.

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.

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!

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.
A 15 year wait for something finalized with a new stadium is now over, and we had on 10 Tampa Bay Sports Director Evan Closky to talk about the craziness of the deadline and the reality of a new stadium coming in a few years.

Well, the Rays certainly have taken the trade part of the trade deadline to heart this season. FIVE trades within the last couple of days, including some of the biggest names on this team, like Randy Arozarena and Isaac Paredes.
We welcomed on WDAE's Zac Blobner to give his thoughts about this hectic trade deadline, plus our thoughts on what's going on in St. Pete.

Just as the title of this episode says, the Rays are back from the All-Star Break and are looking to get themselves in the thick of things when it comes to playoff contention in the stretch run. New York and Toronto are first up on the docket as Tampa Bay headed on the road to begin the "second half" of the season.

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.
We talk about that, plus a look toward this week and the upcoming All-Star Game on this latest episode of the podcast!

The Rays are off to Kansas City, and what a wet start to the series it was on Tuesday night. We briefly talked about the game as it restarted from a nearly three-hour rain delay, but got into the rest of the series, as well as a look back at last weekend and a look toward this weekend against Texas.

We officially have reached the halfway point in the 2024 season for the Tampa Bay Rays, who are currently 40-41 after a third-straight series win.
We discussed the first half of the season, the highs, the lows and everything in-between, bringing on RTR personalities Aiden Pearson and Caden Carpenter to talk about what they've seen in the first half of 2024 as well!

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.

After getting swept in a four-game series for the first time ever against the Baltimore Orioles at home, the Tampa Bay Rays now welcome the Chicago Cubs for what might be the most mediocre series of baseball we've seen this season.
We welcomed on Benjamin Rosenberg, current Mississippi State beat writer for The Commercial Dispatch and lifelong Cubs fan to give his thought about the 2024 Cubs and this upcoming series.

There is no way around it, last week was the Jose Siri Experience. From his glove to his bat, Siri won the Rays games and has looked much better overall.
Tampa Bay finishes up a road trip in Miami, the annual Citrus Series, before heading back home to play Baltimore, and we talked about that, plus much, much more on this latest episode of the podcast!
