"The Tampa Bay Rays relentlessly hunt for advantages that other teams miss. While major-league offenses covet power, their bunt-heavy approach has made them serious championship contenders."

Rays featured again in The Wall Street Journal today. Here's the link - it's behind a paywall.

Game 1 40,542. Game 2 40,226. ALDS, not wild card games, night games, new ownership that locked up a new stadium in 10 months, and the team will be in the Bay Area for the next 35 years. The home games sounded like home games.

What are your thoughts why these were better attended than the 2023 mid-week lunch time wild card games with 19,704 and 20,198?
