RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays MISTAKES COST THEM vs the Milwaukee Brewers

Tampa Bay Rays unravel after a red-hot start, falling into a 0-2 World Series hole against the relentless Milwaukee Brewers. Can the Rays regroup after defensive missteps and costly base running errors undermined their four-run lead?Drew Rasmussen's uncharacteristic struggles on the mound, highlighted by questionable pitch selection, sparked questions about postseason nerves and the Brewers' ability to wear down aces on baseball’s biggest stage.The discussion explores Brady Williams’ aggressive third base coaching, Aranda’s fielding blunders, and bullpen management mishaps with Ian Seymour and Kevin Kelly. Key moments from both games are dissected—including the Rays’ lost opportunities against Jacob Misiorowski’s electric fastball, Milwaukee's overpowering bullpen, and whether Taylor Walls’ role at the plate factored into critical decisions. With the series shifting to Tropicana Field, the pressure is on—can Tampa Bay tighten up the screws for a comeback, or has Milwaukee seized control of the Fall Classic?00:00 Rays World Series Game 2 Meltdown14:37 Rays' Game 1 TakeawaysFollow Kevin Weiss @KevinWeiss_Follow Ulises Sambrano @SambranoUlises Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-rays/Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/mlb/Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Gameday Mens HealthGameday Men’s Health is a real, in-person men’s health clinic that looks at the full picture  before developing a treatment plan.
