00:00The Tampa Bay Rays have had arguably their worst run of the season here because they've lost a lot of
00:06home games, which they haven't done all season long.
00:09Losing to Toronto, losing to Baltimore, that's quite surprising here, Tom.
00:15But, you know, in the end, every team over 162 is going to lose 5 out of 6, 6 out
00:20of 7, a few games in a row.
00:22I kind of feel like that's what's going on here.
00:25Maybe, I don't know, do you have more concerns here with Tampa Bay?
00:28I personally don't.
00:29And I think, you know, eventually they bounce back.
00:31And by the way, to that point, would you rather have this going on in September or August?
00:35I think the Rays would say right now.
00:39I think if I want to find a reason and actually say that there's actually something wrong with the Rays,
00:44I would say it's their pitching staff and how they've been losing games because, you know,
00:48seeing losing games to Baltimore, you know, last week, 6-5, 10-2.
00:53They do win a game 7-6.
00:54They lose to the Blue Jays 10-5.
00:56They win 7-6.
00:57They're losing 5-1.
00:59It's like they're losing and giving up a ton of runs.
01:02It's not as if it was early in the season and they lose games like, yeah, it's 3-1.
01:05They just didn't have, you know, the unluckiness of baseball caused them to just not hit for a couple games.
01:10They're still hitting, but now their pitching is taking a massive step back,
01:13especially when they're at home, which should be such a good pitcher's part.
01:17But it is just a bad stretch.
01:19Coming up, they play the Tigers, the Padres, and the Mets.
01:23Those are their next three series.
01:24So two of those three series, they can probably get back on track.
