Rays Aren’t Dead Yet as Brewers Blunder Helps Extend World Series to Game 5

26m | Oct 28, 2026

The Tampa Bay Rays are STILL ALIVE in the World Series!


Adam Weinrib and MLB insider Robert Murray are joined by Sports Illustrated's Nick Selbe to break down the wild finish to Game 4 and whether the Brewers should be worried about letting Tampa Bay back into the series. With Milwaukee's bullpen running on fumes and William Contreras dealing with a possible hand injury, can Pat Murphy find a way to close things out behind Jacob Misiorowski in Game 5? The guys also discuss how Kevin Cash can keep the Rays' momentum going, Junior Caminero's health, Tampa Bay's starting pitching decisions and what the Rays' future could look like if their World Series run ends.


Plus, Robert Murray weighs in on Mike Rizzo's reported interview with the Houston Astros and whether Houston could choose him over Brewers executive Matt Kleine. Is Milwaukee still in control, or are the Rays setting up an unforgettable World Series comeback? All that and more on Baseball Insiders!
