According to Danny’s blueprint of the Rays winning games 2, 4, 6, and 7, the Rays are still very much alive. But once again, they’ve made it hard on themselves. Although it wasn’t a great night for the Rays bats, and certainly not for Tyler Glasnow, it was hard for any of us to be mad at that game. The bullpen was still great, Randy broke another record, and the Rays are still two wins away from a World Series title.
Our nonchalant attitude may be motivated by the fact that Blake Snell is starting Game 6, and he looked great earlier in this series before getting Tichenor’d in the fifth inning of Game 2.
