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

Your telling me if this Rays team was in Montreal they wouldn't be packing the house in August and September for this team in a playoff race. Please that place would be packed every night. They didn't support the team because they felt screwed. And its also a different time and a different generation. That town had baseball heroes don't tell me they don't care.

 

Maybe they would but for how long? That stadium is s*** and Quebec only seems to wanna build hockey arenas

Look at the attendance records. When the economy was booming and they had great amounts of success in 1994 they only showed up around 24 K a game. Yes, I do think if the Rays go to Olympic Stadium they'll draw in the same low # of crowds

[saskjayfan]

melky is going to be huge this year too

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Good baserunning/hitting there.

 

Make them pay Gump.

[fatcowxlive]

Melk Man!!!

 

Come on Gump!

[theblujay]

Melky is money! Lets go Rasmus!!

[Orgfiller]

Lovely! Melky probably has more line drives this year already than all of last year combined lol.

[Solaxys]

Come on RAsmus...

[Anemic0ffense]

Come on Gump!

[jaysfan2014]

Great hit and run for Cabrera.. c'mon Rasmus!

[Ehjays]

Melky on with a single

man at 1st and 3 rd now

 

cmon guys

[Dylan]

I'm liking this melky...

[John_Havok]

Dammit Gump, wait for your pitch, the high strike and the ball in the dirt are not something you should be swinging at.

 

Almost guaranteed k now

[theblujay]

Settle down just a base hit

[G-Snarls]

Obviously they would only get a team back if they were building a new stadium. Olympic Stadium is a s*** hole and always has been. Downtown MTL is beautiful during the summer. Put a stadium in and let them play outside. People from Montreal want to get outside as much as possible. It sucks being stuck indoors in the summer after 6 months of snow.

 

100%

[theblujay]

Lets go make them pay

[gruber92]

I don't like Rasmus hitting second, should be Lawrie.

[John_Havok]

Gonna be a slider down and in

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Good battle Gump. Run that pitch count up.

[theblujay]

We've had some nice ABs so far

[xenon22]

Rogers on demand doesn't work for me this year. Says I need to be a Blue Jays live customer or something. Anyone have a link to the game? Or is that not allowed on this board. Sorry, I am new here.

[Orgfiller]

Gonna be a slider down and in

 

Good call, Rasmus apparently thought so as well.

[Atothe]

I don't like Rasmus hitting second, should be Lawrie.

 

against a righthander, nope

[John_Havok]

I don't like Rasmus hitting second, should be Lawrie.

 

I don't mind this against RHP Lawrie doesn't take enough walks, though he is a better contact hitter

[eastcoastjaysfan]

4 straight off speed pitches. Fastball coming.

[fatcowxlive]

lol Rasmus

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Oh FFS Rasmus. You can hit that.

[G-Snarls]

Crap

[John_Havok]

Was a nice pitch, same thing he tried to throw Lind, but this time it was placed perfectly

[Orgfiller]

Good pitch from Cobb there, at least we drove the count up a bit.
