The Rays get a lot of flack about Tropicana Field and its dome, but there’s one vital thing to remember about the dome... it is never below 70 degrees in there. You don’t need hand-warmer fanny packs, or full-faced beanies... balaclavas... I don’t even know what to call those things.
All of this to say it was a very, very cold April evening in Chicago, and that was obvious on the field.
Shane McClanahan, who actually went with short sleeves, bless his heart, was the Rays’ starter for the night and actually had another really solid outing.
