Stop if you have heard this one before: Rays starting pitcher gets into a bit of trouble early, settles down, but offense shows no life against lesser heralded young starting pitcher.
Did you stop me when I started the recap with the super overused sports recap opening line?
Anyway, the Rays put up another frustrating offensive performance. I am starting to believe that first half was a mirage. A fever dream cooked up to finally give my mind what it has desperately craved since the days of Pena bombs, Longo Long Flys, and sweet swings from Bossman Jr.
