ST. PETERSBURG -- Chris Archer has pitched well in his past two starts following a less than auspicious beginning to his season. Has the fact that Curt Casali has been behind the plate in both those starts been a factor?
Perhaps, but Rays manager Kevin Cash isn't ready to establish a pet catcher situation between Casali and Archer for the simple fact it's too early. This despite the fact that Rene Rivera evolved into that guy for Archer last season.
"You do see those tandems that work really well that for whatever reason can get the most out of the pitcher," Cash said.
