I’m sure you celebrated the Rays first spring win this week, which came after a full week of losing.

We also get into the latest injury to reliever Pete Fairbanks and unfair blame being levied on the club. You get to meet the newest member of the Rays, outfielder Harold Ramirez and hear from catcher Mike Zunino about Cy Young winners’ work ethics as we got back in the clubhouse for the first time in over two years!

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.
