    Welcome to the show, Willy Adames! Big fly against Chris Sale for his first big league hit.

    Most exciting (position player) rookie since Longo?

    Consider me unimpressed. Would have gotten much more for Colome last offseason.

    Kind of sucks for Span. Got to come home and play. Played with him in HS. He’s a good dude.

    As a Rays fan I am accustomed to being disappointed.

    So this worked out great because I hate surprises.

    Nice sweep of the Jays. Bauers and Adames in the lineup.

    I actually like this team. You have to think in a couple years the Rays May have a hell of a squad.

    Not to be a Debbie Downer, but...

    Not a surprise, but sucks to read after this weekend. Really wish they’d hang on to Duffy. He could be a franchise cornerstone, IMO. I realize there’s a logjam with Duffy, Adames, Hech, Wendle, Robertson to play three positions. I’m fine with dealing Hech, but hate to see them going with Robertson over Duffy (finances, obviously). I’m like the world’s biggest Wendle fan, so I hope he sticks.

    Best homestand in franchise history? 8-1 with wins against some of the best pitchers in baseball. The schedule is very favorable the rest of the way. Winning 85 games is a real possibility.

    Guys, we are two games over .500. Cron has 17 bombs. Duffy is hitting .307. Bauers and Adames are up. Snell has 12 wins. The bullpen has been amazing. Is this real life?

    Ybor ballpark news coming later today.

    this is random, but are any of you guys familiar with the hotels on St. Pete's Beach?

    I booked the Postcard Inn for my wife and I for a wedding this weekend and the bride told my wife to get ready for a frathouse atmosphere. it doesn't seem that way from the pictures or reviews so I'm hoping she's just annoyed we didn't book at the hotel they blocked rooms.

    It’s definitely wilder than most out there. It’s cheap and has a big beach bar.

    Don Cesar > Tradewinds > Postcard Inn

    I worked at the Don years ago. It’s nice but definitely not the cheapest. Had a buddy that stayed at postcard and it’s just ok. Not terrible but not one I’d recommend.

    When Postcard first opened, I had a friend go to the Grand Opening tour. His review was: “I didn’t know duct tape came in so many bright colors.” They used to have a terrible BBQ restaurant connected to it, but I think they changed concepts.
