After being swept by the Yankees in Yankee stadium, Rays defeated Boston 10-5 in the first game of the four game series in Fenway.
they're are having tough April schedule, that's for sure - facing all their AL East opponents and Houston and Detroit.....if they can finish the month near .500, I'd be comfortable as they figure out their bullpen....they lost a few games already just because the bullpen couldn't hold the lead
headed out to the park today to see them take on the Tigers who they've beaten the first two games of their series so far.....
They have scored the second most runs in the AL, but have allowed the third most. While that is the mark of a .500 team, at least the games should be entertaining with plenty of baserunners and lots of scoring by both sides.
The advantages gained by the enlightened management which was in place have been negated by the rest of baseball catching up. Smarts but no money can beat money without smarts sometimes, but now it is smarts with no money vs smarts with plenty of cash.
Small market teams are probably doomed to repetitive cycles of each competitive period having to be followed by years of rebuilding. Tampa Bay might be better off selling off their most attractive assets and going into rebuild, then they are as a .500 team. Pulling the plug and enduring terrible seasons is what gets you high draft choices.
