The Tampa Bay Rays are dumpster fire and the fire trucks are all on vacation.
Remember when the staple of the Rays was good pitching, good defense, and decent fundamentals? A lot has been made about how bad the pitching has been, but the defense has been equally as bad and the fundamentals non-existent. That was never more true than during one play in the eighth inning of the Rays’ (likely) loss to the Angels on Thursday.
With two outs and the Rays trailing 3-0, the Angels had the speedy Mike Trout on third base and the slow-footed Albert Pujols on first base.
