Official Game Thread - 6/9 - Bucs vs Twins

Shoot! I had a good feeling we'd get a 3 run HR. So much for that.

Davis is just completely lost.

What a wasted opportunity. Why Shelton has Suwinski and Davis hitting back to back is beyond stupidity. You can't have them both in the lineup. Then again, Grandal is not much of an upgrade at the plate, but behind it, it's quite noticeable.

Yeah, definitely needed to have Olivares and Reynolds in the OF, and keep Cutch at DH.

This resting shit has to stop.

Bruihl 1 batter = 1 out and he is done.

Great job by Holderman.

Time to give Matt Gorski a shot at the bigs. They can DFA Palacios or Alika Williams to make room on the 40 for him.

They can't keep going with two complete albatross players. We were running 4 of them at one time with Triolo and Tellez, at least those two have started to show some life of late.

Great job by Holderman.

Especially since it was Stratton

[Surgnbuck]

Tellez has raised his BA 41 points since May 31st. Amazing what a 9 for 17 run will do for you.

[Surgnbuck]

Pirates get a walk from the top of the order and that's it. Got the feeling they needed a crooked number that inning, because with the bullpen situation, I don't trust them to blank the Twins the rest of the way.

[Surgnbuck]

Stratton dominates the 8th, Cutch gives Gonzo a kick to get out of there, that's his ball.

Now let's have some fun by scoring runs too!

[Surgnbuck]

Gonzo flies out, Tellez gets walked on 4 pitches. He's getting respect now.
