The biggest takeaway from the disaster that was this weekend’s series with the Seattle Mariners may have been the struggles of the rotation. The Tampa Bay Rays starters looked as though they were tired, not finishing their pitches and getting hammered all weekend. Considering that the Rays were on a nice run heading into the weekend, it was a rather disheartening series defeat.
Those struggles from the rotation did not go unnoticed by the Rays as well. Manager Kevin Cash stated that the rotation looked “gassed,” leading to expectations that something would need to be done.
