The Tampa Bay Rays have been to the World Series twice in their franchise history, and although neither appearance resulted in a championship, they’re now just one win away from getting back to the Fall Classic for the first time since 2020 following their ALCS Game 5 win. However, the Cleveland Guardians aren’t ready to give up just yet.
On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz is joined by FOX Sports MLB writer Deesha Thosar as they recap the action from ALCS Games 4 and 5, which put the Rays in the driver’s seat for the rest of the series. On the backs of ace Drew Rasmussen and Yandy Díaz’s bat, the Rays are up 3–2 in the series as they look to close it out in St. Petersburg on Monday night. Will the Guardians win the do-or-die game and force a winner-take-all Game 7?
Later in the show, Jake and Deesha take a look at the job Pat Murphy has done with the Milwaukee Brewers as they wait for their World Series opponent. They discuss how the manager has built a stronger bond with the club, which is still searching for its first-ever World Series title. They then try to make sense of how things went downhill so quickly for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS before trying to figure out whether the New York Yankees or New York Mets will win a World Series before the other.
