Every Monday afternoon, I join Beckles & Recher on Sports Radio 95.3 WDAE in Tampa to discuss all things Rays.
This week, we start with the call-up of Shane Baz to face off with the Blue Jays tonight. We also get into what changes Nick Anderson needs to make with his velocity not where it was before his elbow injury, the imminent return of Wander Franco and how much the lineup suffers when he’s not in it, plus Andrew Kittredge going on the injured list, and which hitters getting warm in the next week or so could mean a nice long playoff run for Tampa Bay again this season.

Steve Carney is the founder and publisher of St. Pete Nine. One of the people most associated with baseball coverage in Tampa Bay, he spent 13 seasons covering the Rays for flagship radio station WDAE, first as producer of Rays Radio broadcasts, then as beat reporter beginning in 2011. He likes new analytics and aged bourbon, and is the owner of one of the ugliest knuckleballs ever witnessed by baseball scouts.
