World Series Game 1 is under our belts, and it didn’t go as planned. The 8-3 loss felt almost more lopsided than that lopsided score. For more on the game specifics, you can check out Ashley’s recap. I’ll just note that those who screamed about Cash pulling Charlie Morton at just 66 pitches must have been much happier watching Tyler Glasnow slog through that fifth inning to get to 112 pitches.
But the Rays are still in the World Series, which is more than 28 other teams can say, and they have three more chances to get this right.
