Just attended a 17-inning game at Target Field. Except I left after the 14th so it doesn’t quite count.

This is interesting: the Rays may split their home games between Tampa and Montreal in the near future:
The Rays have received permission from Major League Baseball's executive council to explore a plan in which they would play home games in both the Tampa Bay area and Montreal, commissioner Rob Manfred said Thursday.

While the plan is in its nascent stages, the Rays have embraced the two-city solution as the most feasible to saving baseball in the Tampa Bay area after years of failed attempts to build a new stadium in the region, sources said.

Under the plan, the Rays would play early season home games in the Tampa Bay area and the remainder of the year in Montreal, with both cities getting new stadiums, sources said. The number of home games each city would receive has not been determined, sources said.

Manfred referred to the idea of a two-city Rays team as a long-term project.

The ability to play games early in the season in Florida would preclude the need for a domed stadium, cutting the cost of a new building.

"It's an interesting kind of idea," Rays outfielder/infielder Brandon Lowe said before playing at Oakland on Thursday night. "It's in the future. It's so far ahead of us that it's going to be big news right now, but I feel like a lot of us are just kind of, 'Iit happened, we saw it,' but that's really all it is."
So both cities get new stadiums, albeit a cheaper one in Florida without a roof.

This plan works until a rain out causes a game to be made up later in the year when they've switched to Montreal.

Tropicana Field, which is a shithole, is a dome. I have no idea where they would play in Montreal, but Olympic Stadium is also a dome. It would be pretty sweet to be a Rays player and get to call two outdated piece of **** your home stadium.

I don't even know what you're referencing because I try to read as little as possible.

When we were in Montreal, we went over and checked out the Olympic Stadium area. I was struck by how utterly decrepit and abandoned it looked. They did get a new roof and scoreboard in 2015 though.

Olympic stadium is a shithole, with or without a new scoreboard.

Awesome. Hope it goes well for him. It'll be interesting to see if his "two-way" career ever develops. In the minors he's been dominant on the mound and ass at the plate. Shohei Ohtani he's not.

Where the NFL sends bad football to the Brits, MLB sends bad pitching. Yankees/Red Sux games are often embarrassments to the game with how interminably long they take and today's may be in the Top 5 of worst ever in the genre.

The Orioles have won their last two games against the Indians each by a score of 13-0. First team in MLB history to do that.
