I previously alluded to the idea that the Rays had two reasons to go out Tuesday night and play like they still have a chance in September:
1. To play the role of spoilers.
2. To end the season on a strong, high note.
If Tuesday night’s 4-3 win against the Yankees was indicative of anything, it would be the former.
Instead of writing about yesterday’s offensive letdown of a game, I wanted to switch things up a bit and look ahead. Before I move on, if you wanted a recap of sorts, head over to DRaysBay where Ian put together a brief writeup.
The Athletics have claimed shortstop Yunel Escobar from the Rays on revocable waivers, FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal tweets.
Optimism will make you suffer fools gladly. I’m holding out for you to do the right thing, emphatically.
