This is not the way we wanted this to end. For so much magic, so many improbable moments, for all the things that didn’t seem possible that the Rays were able to accomplish, 2020 felt like maybe all the weird would lead to a Rays hoisting a the most prized “hunk of metal” in baseball.
Alas, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the best team in baseball, played like the best team in baseball and won the World Series over the Rays in Game 6.
There’s going to be a LOT of discussion about this game, about Kevin Cash’s choice to turn to The Stable over Snellzilla, about the offense, about the Stable itself, about missed opportunities.
