Official Game Thread - 9/16 - Bucs @ Cards

[Surgnbuck]

amazing how other teams can get hits with two strikes

[Surgnbuck]

you almost feel a grand slam is going to happen in this inning

[Surgnbuck]

Holderman get Siani swinging, one down....and he has quite the potty mouth

[Surgnbuck]

IKF and Grandal combine to make an incredible force out play at home

Cardinals challenging, but it ain't getting overturned

[Surgnbuck]

It's good to see other teams also don't play fundamental baseball, a proper slide and he beats the throw

[Surgnbuck]

IKF, I love that guy

[Surgnbuck]

Come back to Holderman

Only one run surrendered, can the Bucs do something to get Skenes off the hook?

[Surgnbuck]

Tellez PH, watches two pitches right down the middle, than strikes out swinging at one down at the ankles.

He won't be back next year.

Bucs go down in order. Absolutely no punch back at all

[Surgnbuck]

Nicolas on, walks Goldschmidt, and injured himself in some way, and is leaving the game.

Please, please, please don't be the arm

[Surgnbuck]

Just some thought.

Shelton started Joe over Rowdy, citing Pallante's reverse splits. Neither of these guys have been hitting, and had Tellez started simply just because of accentuating Skenes ability to pick guys off, he doesn't give up a run.

It's also clear, he has to quit playing guys who aren't going to be here next year. Today was a good opportunity for Bart to catch. I don't get why Skenes gets the personal caddy the rest of the way with a guy who won't be back next season.

They finally bring up both Cook and Yorke, but with Cook, they don't give him regular playing time. I won't be surprised if the same thing happens with Yorke.

Cruz ankle is bothering him. Just IL him for the rest of the season, to give some playing room for Cook and Yorke.
