But as the old saying goes good teams find a way to win.

The Rays are a good team
I think the Rays are going to end up struggling with the new pitcher rules. Being the second cheapest MLB team (not necessarily a bad thing), their main tool has been sending out as many pitchers as needed to get through the game. And some of the games last year they sent out a LOT of pitchers!


The Jays have young rebuild team (couple years old) that I foresee this season or next really turning it on!

the Rays Pitchers are some of the Best in the League

Blake Snell was Cy Young a couple of years ago
Charlie Morton should have been
Tyler Glasnow will Win the Cy Young at some point
Yarlborough was 9-1 for us last year
Yonny Chorinas get no credit but good

Bullpen
Nick Anderson - a lot of talk of a Reliever winning a Cy Young in a short season he could do it
Jalen Beeks is Very Good
Jose Alvarado has the Nastiest Curve in the game
There are other lesser known guy in the back of the Pen but good

Brendan McKay, one of our Starter/relievers from last year has not shown up yet ( Covid?

I totally agree.

My point was the amount of pitchers used per game is frequently a lot. We did bring back the "opener" pitcher to MLB (successfully I'll add) in 2018!

I just don't see how well it's going to line up with the new pitching rules. I hope my assumptions are wrong!

Playing almost everyday will take it's toll on the relievers for sure, but I think everyone is in the same boat

I think they play their first game there Aug 12th.

One more home game to go in Washington today at 3pm then off to Philly for a homestand double header Saturday.

Just to vent a little... it sucks having to watch your favorite team play a day late due to archaic blackout rules.

Wasn't a problem before when I had Fox Sports South and Fox Sports Southeast, but after switching providers I now only have FSSO. Never noticed before that the Braves mix up what channel they air their games on.

If you're paying to have MLB.TV there is no reason why MLB should push this restriction.

Usually the States gets better coverage but I have the Super Sports Pack with my Cogeco cable and get every MLB,NHL or NBA game,

I should get every NFL game as a Bills Season ticket holder but DAZN bought the Canadian rights

Well after watching a 4 1/2 hour Rays / Red Sox's game on Monday.

I figured I'd watch the Blue Jays play on their "new" "home" field tonight! I'm happy to see them start it off with a win there, but oh my... they made that way too difficult at the end!

Yes they seem to do things the hard way.

If I were the manager Romano would have come out for the 9th.

He threw 11 pitches in the 8th with 2 strike outs.

Montoya is too set with this guy gets the 7th this guy gets the 8th and Bass gets to close.

Bass did not look comfortable at all and struggled then gave up that 3 run game tying HR.

Romano was on....you run with the hot hand.

I'm a glutton for punishment, Detroit has dropped 9 in a row and I'm still watching. Things won't be looking up this weekend as they play Cleveland, have a 20 game losing streak against the Indians :(
