The road has not been kind to the Tampa Bay Rays in recent weeks as the team is just 3-11 in its last 14 games away from Tropicana Field. However, a much-needed 10-game homestand and 17 home games in their next 23 overall could very well be what the doctor ordered to get the Rays right back on track in the American League. Thanks so much for listening! You can follow RTR on social media @RaysTheRo...

If you would've told us that the Rays would have the worst defense in baseball through the first 12 games of the season, we would laugh in your face.
