Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash explained his decision to pull starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen early during the team's World Series loss, according to a report published Thursday. The move came during the Rays' championship series defeat, though specific details of Cash's reasoning were not immediately disclosed in the initial report. Rasmussen, a right-handed pitcher, had been a key part of Tampa Bay's rotation throughout the postseason. The explanation from Cash follows scrutiny over the strategic decision that preceded the Rays' loss in the Fall Classic.
