There's been a pretty clearly defined script for hot the Rays lose Erasmo Ramirez games: give up a huge amount of runs in a small number of innings, and then nothing else matters. Well, today baseball decided to remind us that maybe we shouldn't write a player off completely after two games.
It started off poorly enough. With one out, Ramirez threw his second consecutive high fastball to the red-hot Devon Travis, who drove it the warning track in right field. Steven Souza might have been able to get there, but his initial read was bad and he took a half-step in.
