I don’t know what’s happening to the Rays hitters. All that magic seems to have disappeared. The pitching is still there, manager Kevin Cash has made some clever movements but what’s the use if the team can’t hit. However it’s still surprising how only just today have the Orioles tied them for first place in the AL East, and it was only two or three weeks ago that the Braves tied the Rays for the best record in the majors, despite the Rays playing .500 ball or worse for almost two months.
