With Jones on the mound, we have a chance to win this game if the hitters can solve Skubal. Will Shelty pull the right strings and not screw around with the bullpen?

Of course I got sweep on my mind. I'll be home for Skenes. I just hope Jones has the first game won.

Cruz was going to start yesterday against Skubal, today it's Williams. Cruz should be playing both ends of the DH.

[Surgnbuck]

Still don't have the answer on to how Koch is on the 40 man without a corresponding move. I counted again, same as yesterday, there are 41 guys on the 40.

I'm excited about 27th man Daulton Jefferies. With SF this year, he pitched 4.2 innings giving up 9 ERs (13 total runs) and 2 HRs for a nifty ERA 17.36 and WHIP of 3.429. He was DFA'd and Cherington traded a minor leaguer for him. At Indy, Jefferies cut that ERA almost in half, lowering it to 9.00. No wonder he was added to the roster today!

[bucs607179]

Yikes. Kind of ruins the second game.

[Bobster]

8-0. Well, we might only have 3 hits but at least we have 3 errors. Golly, the Cherington rebuild is going along splendidly.

Bucs lay a big, fat egg in the first game. Hopefully the Tigers will be too exhausted to play well in Game Two.

What bothered me most was Jones' stuff has regressed terribly .
