Official Game Thread - 6/21 - Bucs vs Rays

[Bobster]

Bullpen games are games a team doesn't care about winning. Great if you do, but you're not really trying.

[Doc]

Ortiz finally retires the side. He’s thrown 50 pitches, 30 for strikes, in two and a third. Is he not watching how when other pitchers throw lots of strikes they tend to have better results?

[Doc]

Gonzales walks on four pitches. That has to be a first. Tellez, who also walked, is at second.

[Bobster]

4-1. Hayes with RBI-single!

[Bobster]

4-2 on RBI doub-double by Suwinski.

[Doc]

Bucs cut the lead in half but miss a chance with the bases loaded to add more. 4-2 Rays after four.

[Doc]

Ortiz responds to his teammates cutting the Rays lead in half by giving up three more runs. And the Rays still aren’t done in the 6th.

[Doc]

Ortiz’s line looks pretty bad, to be kind: six runs (all earned) on 10 hits over four innings.

That'd a whole, whole lot for 4 innings.

[Doc]

I’ve decided to give this game the same amount of interest that the Pirates, including the manager and whoever makes out the line-up, are giving it. I’m done for the evening.
