Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Fall Hard 9-0, Balfour DFA’d

Most of you are well aware of the 9-0 lashing suffered by the Tampa Bay Rays Saturday night. Ouch! In the words of our web guy Adam, that game was no bueno. To put it bluntly, Jake Odorizzi was good though you’d never know it by merely taking a glance at the final score. Rather CJ Riefenhauser and Grant Balfour (with a little help from Steven Souza Jr.) teamed up to allow seven runs (six earned) in just one inning.
