Very nice work by Brault in the 10th and 11th. Let's plate one here in the 12th.

Meadows a lead off double in the 12th. Why the hell was Mercer not bunting him to 3rd

I agree...I’ve never liked that strategy of trying to hit it the other way. It's the right strategy with one out, not with zero, or when you aren’t playing for just one run. I’ll be stunned if the Bucs winnthis game.

And right on que, we take the lead back. That was a nice play by Peraza to retire Diaz.

Reds are out of position players and will need to bat a pitcher in the four hole if it gets that far.

Well, a win’s a win. Not pretty, but it counts the same. I hope Cervelli isn’t hurt. We’re finally going to be at full strength in a couple of days. We won’t know until Friday I suppose, as I’m sure Diaz would catch tomorrow regardless of Cervelli's house, day game after a night game and an extra inning game to boot and all that.
