GDT(2/4): Toronto Blue Jays @ Tampa Bay Rays - Hutchison vs. Cobb - 7:10 PM ET

Not a baseball town lol. Nearly 100 thousand people in 2 days suggest otherwise. Nobody promised the Montreal fans anything. They showed they want a team that nobody cares about in St. Pete, Tampa or whatever the f*** they want to call themselves.

 

Yeah so? It's baseball for the first time in 10 years obviously they had to come into the stadium, I was actually disappointed they didn't sell out. The issue is doing that for 2 days, it's for a whole season. The Rays first day was 30k+ then the second day was s***. This is what baseball would be like in Olympic Stadium too

We're talking about sustainable crowds. A two game gimmick series means nothing. I know like 10 different people from the Maritimes who specifically planned a road trip to Montreal last weekend for that series. They aren't going to draw those crowds on a nightly basis..

[G-Snarls]

Pile on!

[RickyWalks]

I liked how Navarro already had managed to throw out a base stealer.

Zobrist f***ing range

[Orgfiller]

Good/expected play from Zobrist there.

It's 2 days that Baseball was in that warehouse after practically a decade of absence, you bring regular ball back there and people most likely DGAF

[Atothe]

Torre?

 

too oldschool? Isn't he old as hell? 70ish?

[saskjayfan]

Exactly right

[Solaxys]

good play; good contact

[G-Snarls]

Yeah probably

[Abomination]

you have a point but if he does this 4 or 5 times a game without really having the intention of challenging, they should make a rule change. I'm wondering who the f*** is gonna be the next commish

 

The bigger problem will be when there's a play that's pretty obviously the right call, and the manager uses it as an excuse to buy time for a reliever to finish warming up. I do like the idea of a "shot clock" (maybe 1 min though), and perhaps give the umps the ability to disallow a replay if they all feel it's a stall tactic with no merit.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Good swing Goins, nice contact.

[G-Snarls]

Good/expected play from Zobrist there.

 

They've made him full time 2B I gather??

[dineke]

The f*** is going on with Lind's beard.

[fatcowxlive]

Lets go Johnny Mac!!

[eastcoastjaysfan]

[theblujay]

Bottom part of our order isn't so inspiring

[saskjayfan]

[fatcowxlive]

Good walk!

[theblujay]

Nice walk

I wouldn't know, but the beauty about Zobrist is basically everything that stands about him, including playing everything out there.

[Angrioter]

Diaz discipline is great

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Nice, I'll take it. Make this guy work.

[jaysfan2014]

Nice eye by Diaz.

They were already doing that before this new rule. Pretend to check on your possibly hurting pitcher, etc...

[Dylan]

Nice job Diaz!

[theblujay]

Good job extending the inning

[Orgfiller]

Really nice showing from the bottom part of the lineup.
