Re: Official Game Thread - 6/5 - Bucs vs Dodgers
Possum, you're forgetting Shelton's first rule: if a player gets a hit, he sits out the next game. It's very tiring being on base.
Re: Official Game Thread - 6/5 - Bucs vs Dodgers
Interesting that Nicky g has started at ss against last 2 lefties.

Wildwood won't be with us tonight. He has some sort of banquet he needs to go to tonight. So let's hope he doesn't jinx the Bucs by being away.

Re: Official Game Thread - 6/5 - Bucs vs Dodgers
Skenes makes it look easy in the first with two strikeouts and a fly out.
Re: Official Game Thread - 6/5 - Bucs vs Dodgers
Not only did Davis have a double, but he caught a shutout. And Skenes is a similar type to Jones. I guess Shelton is hoping for a different result tonight. But as we know, everybody has to play (except Peguero. He could have played SS with Gonzales at 2B).
There's no basement in the Alamo.
Re: Official Game Thread - 6/5 - Bucs vs Dodgers
I’ve never been able to figure out Jason Heyward. He never came close to being the player he was projected to be when he first arrived but, when it comes to playing against the Pirates, it seems like we can’t get him out.
Re: Official Game Thread - 6/5 - Bucs vs Dodgers
Two more strikeouts for Skenes as he works around a Heyward double. No score after one and a half.
