Day baseball is an interesting creature. In the case of Wednesday’s outing against the Diamondbacks, the Rays offered special discounted senior tickets (as they do periodically on Wednesdays throughout the season). The rest of us just had to watch at work. 8663 showed up still for a day game, and in my opinion, that ain’t bad.
The game saw the curiously named matchup of Robbie Ray vs. the Rays (as led by Charlie Morton). Curious, and historical, because it’s the first time EVER a pitcher has made a start against a team that has his surname as their team name.
