Exactly, Doc. I think Skenes would be proud.

I vote "Bobster."

I never like seeing Taylor's name in the lineup. He has long track record of not being able to hit. He's now at .198 and it's unlikely there will be too much improvement. He's a fine OFer but his defense doesn't compensate for a dead spot in the batting order from an outfielder. Suwinski isn't much ...

Hedges is alive and well and not hitting for the Indians. Currently sporting a nifty .130 BA. He's been asking Davis (.150) and Grandal (.163) for batting tips.

Pirates have 2 hits. Both extra base hits. Both made outs at 3b. Good grief.

SMH

Bucs finally get a hit. A triple by Reynolds. I reached for the mute button, but couldn’t get there in time before “trip, trip, triple.”

Greg Brown never stops promoting the team. He gushes nonstop about Skenes. He does that with Cruz too. The past 2 years he did that with Hayes. As much as I detest Joe Block, he doesn’t tend to gush over the players. Maybe because he’s always talking about something else.

"The Pirates announced they’ve claimed reliever Dennis Santana off waivers from the Yankees. Pittsburgh designated Jose Hernandez for assignment to open a 40-man roster spot. The Bucs also recalled Ryder Ryan from Triple-A Indianapolis to take the bullpen spot opened by yesterday’s designation...

Wow, they really don't like Hernandez.
