Matt GermainHOST
So it'll be interesting to see how long he gets to stay with the Rays.
Matt GermainHOST
But I wouldn't be surprised if at some point they decide to switch Kenny Piper with Jacob Melton, 'cause I think he's a huge asset for the Rays lineup if they can get him in there.
Mark CorbettHOST
Well, I have to be honest and say I didn't realize even that Piper was in the mix.
Mark CorbettHOST
You know, I mean-
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
Their bench today is going to be exclusively right-handed.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
They've got two other catchers, Nick Fortes and Kenny Piper.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
They have Nick Madrigal for infield, Johnny DeLuca for outfield, and Ryan Vallada as a utility man.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
So they'll have righty pinch hitters available.
JP PetersonHOST
Who the hell does
Orestes DestradeHOST
that? Who the hell does that and catches at the end of the game? Because the whole staff is going, yeah, we really like Kenny Piper, you know, in the ninth inning and tenth inning.
Orestes DestradeHOST
We don't mind him to come in.
Orestes DestradeHOST
He calls a good game.
Steve LaScalzoHOST
Run, because in the bottom of the eighth, the Rays switch out the battery.
Steve LaScalzoHOST
Kenny Piper into catch, Kevin Kelly into pitch.
Steve LaScalzoHOST
Second pitch, gone.
Steve LaScalzoHOST
A home run by Evan Carter makes the score 3-2 Rays.
Chris Adams-WallHOST
In this week's show, we'll talk with Rays CEO Ken Babby about a historic day in Tampa Bay on Friday.
Chris Adams-WallHOST
Then we'll get together with Rays catcher Kenny Piper, who not only made his Major League debut this month and tallied his first big league hit, but also launched his first big league homer during Tampa Bay's most recent road trip in Baltimore.
Chris Adams-WallHOST
Then we'll meet up with Rays right-handed pitching prospect Jackson Baumeister of the AA Montgomery Biscuits, and we'll wrap it all up with the manager of the AAA Durham Bulls, Morgan Ensberg.
Chris Adams-WallHOST
But we begin with Ken Babby.
Chris Adams-WallHOST
Forever starts now.
Chris Adams-WallHOST
I also got a chance to chat with one of the newer Rays on the roster.
Chris Adams-WallHOST
That's catcher Kenny Piper, who has waited a long time to get a taste of the big leagues.
Kenny PiperGUEST
Yeah, it has, uh, taken a lot, for sure.
Steve LaScalzoHOST
But remember, a little while back, Victor Mesa Jr. went on the injured list, and he's an outfielder.
Steve LaScalzoHOST
Instead of replacing him with another outfielder, the Rays decide to bring up a third catcher, Kenny Piper.
Steve LaScalzoHOST
Now, Piper's young, faster than Hicks, I guess, and had fresh legs.
Steve LaScalzoHOST
He pinch runs for Hicks and stole second base.
Sam LevittHOST
So the Rays had runners on first and third, one out.
Sam LevittHOST
Kenny Piper pinch ran for Hicks at first base.
Sam LevittHOST
He stole second to put the winning run in scoring position.
Sam LevittHOST
The Padres then decided to intentionally walk Chandler Simpson to load the bases.

Ulises SambranoHOST
Yes, he's been injured, but when he's on the field, he's been incredible, so I think that too.
Ulises SambranoHOST
Plus, let's remember, when Victor Mesa Jr. went on the IL, who came up? Kenny Piper.
Ulises SambranoHOST
So the Rays-
Kevin WeissHOST
Yeah
Michael KelleyHOST
You might know.
Michael KelleyHOST
So the three catchers that they have, they're carrying three catchers right now for some reason, but Liam Hicks, Nick Fortes, and Kenny Piper.
Nate EckertHOST
Nope, none of those three were what I was thinking.
Michael KelleyHOST
I mean, I apologize if there's any family members of these gentlemen listening to the call, but these guys could just be your local plumber, your local landscaping guy.
