Official Game Thread - 8/19 - Bucs @ Rangers

[Surgnbuck]

It's up to Triolo, Bae, and IKF.

I'm betting BDLC bats for Bae.

[Surgnbuck]

Kirby Yates on, may be the best in the business. He has to be licking his chops here

[Surgnbuck]

Triolo flies out

[Surgnbuck]

No BDLC, Bae hitting

[Surgnbuck]

Bae strikes out

[Surgnbuck]

Lefties are 6-67 against Yates, yet Mr. Analytics sends Bae up there anyhow, instead of BDLC. You need one run, and BDLC can give that to you with one swing

[Surgnbuck]

IKF strikes out.

Bucs on a new losing streak.

[Wildwoodcoach]

IKF, Tellez, Cruz, Grandal, combined 0-15

Thanks for that, 3P. Those two nuggets confirm what most of us already think about our offensive shortcomings. And for an organization that's so married to analytics and statistics, one would think they'd make some attempt (other than feeble ones) to fix the problem. Instead, they're just waiting for incapable players to play better. It is the cheaper solution, after all.
