See ya next year...
The 2037 Rays went out with a whimper, not a bang as they were manhandled 7-0 by Memphis in Game 6, giving the 2022 expansion Spirit their first-ever championship. The offense was frustrated by former Ray Joe Scheu, who kept escaping damage with double plays as Tampa Bay batters hit into four of them on the night. They had two on in the first and the bases loaded in the second but couldn't score, and Memphis took it from there. Fittingly in a year where the bullpen was the source of our frustration, all four Rays relievers who pitched tonight allowed a run.
