Re: MLB 23
I'm seeing Springs is expected to have Tommy John surgery. Dude how does the most cautious team in the league keep having guys blow their arms out like this. This is what, 3 of our guys now?

Crazy that this went from a short term nerve issue to the ligament needing reconstruction.These Are The Days wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 6:46 pm I'm seeing Springs is expected to have Tommy John surgery.

Re: MLB 23
13 swing & misses generated on 84 pitches. That's real deal stuff.

Re: MLB 23
So the Rays beating teams asses has been the norm this season while losing or close games have been the outlier.

Re: MLB 23
Since the Reds put up 8 runs on them 3 days ago, the Rays went on to outscore them 19-0 (including the 1 run they scored in the 9th inning of the 8-1 loss in game 1 of the series), completing 2 shutouts for a 2-1 series win. It's like the Reds pissed them off or something.

You may be right. I found this story from January that supports your post...
Rays win bid to redevelop Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, despite threats to leave town
The Rays seem to be progressing toward staying in St. Pete

The odds of the Tampa Bay Rays remaining in Florida -- St. Petersburg, to be exact, though still "Tampa Bay" -- got a boost this week.
On Monday, St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch announced during his State of the City address that he has chosen the Rays over other suitors to redevelop Tropicana Field and the surrounding area. Via the Tampa Bay Times, here are some details:
The stadium would be financed separately. The Hines/Rays proposal offered the most money to the city for development rights with an aggressive timeline that would guarantee a new ballpark by the 2028 home opener.The Rays made their pitch as part of a joint proposal to build a new, modern, 30,000-seat ballpark closer to the northeast part of the Tropicana Field site and to develop the area's 86 acres with international real estate investment and development group Hines. In addition to a stadium, they propose building a senior living facility, 40,000 square feet of conference space as part of the ballpark space and a new Woodson African American Museum of Florida at the development's entryway on Booker Creek. The team also would make a $10 million donation to the museum and build affordable housing elsewhere in the city.
On Tuesday, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred praised the decision to the Tampa Bay Times:
"Thank you to Mayor Welch for reaffirming St. Petersburg's commitment to Major League Baseball and the Tampa Bay Rays. We look forward to working with the Mayor to secure the Rays' long-term future in Tampa Bay."
As such, it appears MLB is good with the proposal. All along, Manfred has indicated the league wants a new ballpark for the Rays somewhere in the area, whether Tampa or St. Pete. The Rays can still negotiate with the city of Tampa and could potentially choose to move to that side of the bay, but it does seem like all roads are headed toward them remaining in the area full-time, instead of moving or further exploring the once-proposed "split" team (where they would spend a half season in Tampa Bay and a half season in Montreal).
Should this be resolved soon, and that appears to be the case, the one remaining ballpark problem would be the seemingly dire situation with the Oakland Athletics. Manfred has indicated in the past that, at some point, MLB will consider expanding to 32 teams but that it's a priority to get these two situations resolved before fully diving in to expansion.
Tropicana Field, the Rays' current home, has been in operation since 1990 and has housed the team since their arrival for the 1998 season. The lease runs through the 2027 season, so that's why the target date for completion of a new ballpark is the 2028 opener. The Rays are the only current MLB team that have never hosted an All-Star Game and that's just another reason to get a new venue.

Re: MLB 23
Okay, 22,333 on a night when the Lightning are playing a playoff home game is actually, legitimately fantastic. There's no way the Rays are just gonna keep practically giving tickets away for free like this but it's nice to watch a great team without the cavernous echoes of a vuvuzela, one clanking cowbell and one guy shouting "Tampa" and 8 people shouting "Bay" 8 feet away from him.

Re: MLB 23
I love this team
Re: MLB 23
And still undefeated at home.
Also the 1st game all season the Rays did not hit a HR. But they've scored in every game this year.
