Tampa Bay Rays: The Flaw in Kevin Cash’s Mindset

We know what transpired in the Tampa Bay Rays’ “road” series against the Baltimore Orioles at Tropicana Field. On Friday, manager Kevin Cash removed Alex Colome after five innings and just 60 pitches and the Rays bullpen was dominant for the last four innings. On Sunday, Cash tried the same strategy after Nate Karns‘ five excellent frames, but his bullpen collapsed entirely to lead to the loss. People want to second-guess Cash for his decision on Sunday, and they are right to do so–though they should be doing the same thing about Friday.
