Over that stretch, Archer is 0-5 with an ERA above 6.00 during that stretch. The Rays are 2-6 in those…

Rays enter their season flooded with more questions than answers

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Questions. We have questions. The Tampa Bay Rays? The Rays, on the other hand, have answers. At least, they hope they have answers. The Rays, 80-82 in an injury-plagued season a year ago, will attempt to contend for the AL East title this year. But that might be easier said than done. A lot of people seem to be picking the Toronto Blue Jays to win the division, and if not them the Boston Red Sox, and if not them…
