Wasn't Tropicana developed as a multipurpose? I think one of the things that baseball fans maybe forget or don't realize is that it was opened in 1990. Camden Yards, which has become the standard for the new era of stadia, opened in 1992. Tropicana should be more comparable to Toronto's Roger's Centre (opened as SkyDome in 1989). But I think that because it didn't have a baseball tenant until 1998, it's sterile/unpleasant nature gets magnified a bit. The Rays were created in the retro park era, but started and have only played in a cookie cutter. And of course, the lack of attendance adds into the perception as well.

Well there you go.

Oh yeah!

Just Be Happy we have a place. (See what I did there?)

Relievers are just odd. What did Funkhouser show in 2019 & 2020? I wouldn't want to count on either Garcia or Funkhouser as a part of the "late & close" subgrouping of the bullpen going forward.

I was asked the question on another forum this morning about what was up with MTS. I sent the link to here. I hope that's cool, but hey, if not, fire me.

Is this where all the cool kids are hangin' out these days?
