The Rays are in such a weird spot right now. It’s easy to claim that they are just a bad team. It’s easy to just lament this is the same song and dance from 2024. But the reality is far stranger.
Tonight, much like the rest of the season, the Rays hit extra base hits, they had RISP, they got a quality start from the starter, and they had ample opportunities to flip the script.
That’s the way the 2025 Rays have played! this is not the 2024 Rays. This is a team with top ten in BA with RISP.
