The Rays playoffs hopes aren’t so much alive as yet to be declared legally dead. But they fell to 5 1/2 games out of the final Wild Card slot Thursday night, in part because they loaded the bases with no one out in the second, and had two runners in scoring position with one out in the ninth, and couldn’t score in either inning of a one-run loss.
Those innings alone should provide plenty of at-bats to think about as Rays players are home watching the playoffs next month, and as they ponder the potential of back-to-back fourth place finishes, they could be considering back-to-back season series defeats to rebuilding White Sox teams as emblematic of their underperformance.
