Dejong not looking sharp after his IL stint so far.

Double play......Castro blew a great chance at a triple play, he had already made up his mind to tag third and go to first, took his time....the triple play around the horn was there for the taking

Gonzalez and Peguero stalling out so far has really hurt. They were probably expected to be here by now.

DeJong gets out of it,.

I think I recall hearing that excuse quite a bit the last couple years.

Bucs need to snap out of it. They are resembling exactly what they looked like in Spring Training, and that isn't a good thing.

I'll really be worried if they start using the injury excuse next.

I'm glad someone else feels the same as I do about Bae. Fun to watch on the bases. And that's about the extent of his contributions. He's been horrible defensively.

I hope they stick with Marcano at short. Castro and Bae should platoon at second.

As one of Oneil Cruz's biggest fans, I'd like to ask, are you guys missing him now?

I really think the Bucs are going to be OK. But, they could use a good game tomorrow night. I'll be glad to be done playing the AL East.

And it all started out so well against the AL East. I would have thought the Pirates would have been up to the task against Toronto, the way they manhandled the Bucs last year at home.

I'll be at the next two games. I'll try coaching them up, but so many wheels have flown off at the same time, it's going to be a tough task

Last of the ninth. Now the fun begins. Bucs spotted the Jays four runs to make it interesting.

IDK...everyone is struggling this week. Maybe a night off will do some of these guys good. Need to sit Suwinski for at least a game, maybe two.

I think Suwinski is now 0- his last 17, with 11 Ks. The power is fun, but the lack of consistency is really problematic.

Right now, we stink.
