Well, that was a pretty perfect way to start the season, huh?
The Rays looked as lifeless as a Westworld robot for the first seven innings, but in the words of The Joker: It was all part of a plan. (I’m riding so high that I can manage to squeeze not just one but TWO forced pop culture references into a sentence right now!)
Things didn’t start off so hot for the Rays, as a J.D. Martinez walk, a rocketed double off the bat of Xander Bogaerts and then a miscommunication between Denard Span and Kevin Kiermaier found the Rays in a quick 3-0 hole.
