Rays Minor League Organizational All-Stars / There's no other way to put it: The Rays system enjoyed one of the best Minor League seasons in recent memory in 2021. Triple-A Durham (86-44), High-A Bowling Green (82-36) and Low-A Charleston (82-38) all won 80-plus games -- the only Minor League teams to do so -- before securing postseason titles. The FCL Rays raised their own trophy with the Florida Complex League's best record (42-15) while Montgomery (62-55) finished second in the Double-A South before falling in the best-of-5 Finals against Mississippi, preventing Tampa Bay of a clean Minor League domestic championship sweep.

Baseball Barista | What happened to the Padres, Astros are sneaky good & the Cardinals doing September Cardinals things / The Baseball Barista with Hunter Pence & Grant Brisbee have a fresh cup of baseball thoughts this week. The guys talk about what is going on with the Padres, how the Astros are sneaky good and the Cardinals making their usual late season push. Really only 3 races to watch right now- the NL West and the 2 Wild Card Races. One team that was expected to be in the mix in the NL was the San Diego Padres. The guys talk about what went wrong down in San Diego and what they thought of the Tatis Jr-Machado argument in the dugout on the weekend. They talk about how the Rays have been hit really hard this season with the injury bug, but keep on winning. They give their thoughts on how the Astros have really snuck up on the league this season and how Dusty Baker deserves a lot of the credit. And they break down the Wild Card races and how the Cardinals are doing their late season thing to most likely make the playoffs again. - - Follow Hunter on Twitter: @hunterpence - Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBrisbee - - Save 50% on a subscription to The Athletic at theathletic.com/baseballshow - Learn more about your ad choices.

Baseball Barista | Unsung 1st Half Players, Bullpens Are Important & Why Not to Trade with the Rays / The Baseball Barista with Hunter Pence & Grant Brisbee have a fresh cup of hot baseball takes. They talk about unsung 1st half players, why bullpens are so important and why you should avoid the Rays if they call you for a trade. The guys talk about how impressive the Giants have been this season so far, along with the Dodgers and Padres. They talk about some of the unsung players on some of the top teams in baseball in the first half of the season. They talk about pitching is contagious kinda like hitting, especially in bullpens. Hunter thinks putting more money into bullpens makes more sense in baseball right now. They talk about how if the Rays call you and are interested in a player, you should hang up and keep those players. The Rays and the Giants are very similar in their systems and how they are doing things with trades/pick ups. And they talk about how the Giants have been a big surprise and who is their biggest unsung player. - - Follow Hunter on Twitter: @hunterpence - Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBrisbee - - Subscribe to The Athletic for just $3.99 per month at theathletic.com/baseballshow - Learn more about your ad choices.
