The Tampa Bay Rays entered the 2018 season the laughing stock of baseball. Before any games were played. The off season brought so many changes to the roster that nobody, seemingly not a single person, thought the Rays were trying to compete. Tampa Bay Times Rays writer Marc Topkin recaps that today. He calls it “Rays Hate”. In two words, that appropriately summarizes it.
Now, as we head toward September 1, the Rays remain one game over .500. They just took two of three at Yankee Stadium, but have struggled this weekend (who doesn’t?), at Fenway Park.
