Official Game Day Thread - 5/8 - Bucs @ Cubs

Cubs lost their PHer on the pick off for the 3rd out and the reliever led off the next inning. Would've made more sense to double switch and keep the PHer in the game in RF for Heyward, whose hitting .178, and put the reliever in the #6 hole for Heyward.

And, we can't have too much.....versatility.

Crowe makes it through 5 so far. Pirates have failed behind him making plays.

Let's get a bunch of insurance

The problem with some of these guy's versatility is they're equally bad at all of them

Newman with a leadoff single. We can't waste this rare opportunity

Perez lines out to Baez who almost dropped it....Crowe moves him over with a nice bunt, and has a funny moment with Rizzo by refusing to run down the line and get tagged, making Rizzo walk to the bag

Adam 3-3 sure could use another hit

Open base, they don't even pitch to him.....Difo with ANOTHER chance to do something

I'd say he owes them one, but there's so many IOU's floating around the clubhouse for poor play it's meaningless......and he rolls out to Rizzo as I type

Kind of like one of the places I worked. If they're bad at sales, they'd move them to accounting. Bad at accounting, so they'd put them in fleet. Bad at fleet, so they put them in security.....bad at security, so they put them in..... MANAGEMENT!
