    Jays extending this series and forcing the Twins to use up Joe Ryan tomorrow would be nice.

    Rays is doing something the Astros have been doing all season not show up at home. Luckily for the Rays they don't have enough fans to raise hell.

    They just said one of the issues with the rays stadium is that it’s “hard to get to”.

    why?

    MLB wants a sweep, it cost more money to pay for the Rays and Rangers, players and staff to play another game at Tampa Rays home game.

    Baseball is brutal. Rays started the year on fire, setting records, and almost finished with 100 wins. Baltimore finishes with more wins but a far worse run-diff. Now the Rays are getting swept out of the playoffs in a short 3-game series.

    At least they're not losing in front of a packed house.

    Did their manager start the worst player in baseball instead of a history-making ROY?

    Tropicana Field is in St. Pete and not even in Tampa...about 45 mins away from downtown Tampa. It It's only accessible from bridges and their is no mass transit to it.

    2 RISP, one out

    Rays would have a chance here if they didn't fall behind SEVEN f***ing runs.

    Blue Jays took Berrios out in the 4th inning after allowing a walk with only 47 pitches and no runs (and allowing only 3 hits so far).
    I feel this is a move that will backfire real quick.
