WESH 2’s Daren Stoltzfus said the Rays are going into the game feeling confident.
“Our group overall is pretty good at, you know, staying in the moment, taking it one pitch at a time, one breath at a time,” said Rays closer Bryan Baker. “We’ve been ourselves all year, and it’s gotten us right into this position.”
“We can match up pretty well against them, they can match up against us, and there are a lot of decisions that go on in those games, and it comes down to ultimately very talented players on both sides of the ball in both dugouts,” said Rays manager Kevin Cash.
