FORT MYERS, Fla. – Edubray Ramos, dejected after four rough weeks, left Citizens Bank Park last June and headed to the minor leagues. Ramos said he never went through a stretch like the one he faced last summer when he retired just four of the 15 batters he faced in five games.
His confidence, Ramos said, was missing. The righthander spent a month at triple A and came back a new pitcher, a dominant reliever who found his edge.
“ I just said ‘Screw it. I already went through the worst part so I’m just going to come up and do my thing,’” Ramos said.
