3. Kyle Farmer (R) 3B

4. Jake Fraley (L) DH

5. Spencer Steer (R) 1B

6. Aristides Aquino (R) RF

7. Mike Siani (L) CF

8. Jose Barrero (R) SS

9. Austin Romine (R) C

Hunter Greene (R) SP

Bucs

1. Oneil Cruz (L) SS

2. Bryan Reynolds (S) CF

3. Rodolfo Castro (S) 3B

4. Jack Suwinski (L) LF

5. Miguel Andujar (R) DH

6. Cal Mitchell (L) RF

7. Zack Collins (L) 1B

8. Jason Delay (R) C

9. Ji Hwan Bae (L) 2B

Mitch Keller (R) SP

We are gonna see how Andujar does against a flame-thrower in Greene. It's too late in the season for me to really complain about the head moron of a manager.

So apparently Chavis wasn't DFA'd so that Andujar could take his spot. He was DFA'd so Collins could take his place. Unbelievable.

to me, Collins only has value if he is a back up catcher. I don't understand need to play him at first.

They even added Godoy to be the backup catcher so that Collins could pay 1B. It's so illogical that it makes me wonder if there's more to the story. Could Chavis have done something that got him kicked off the team?

Keller puts himself in a hole with a wild pitch. Bucs go quietly in the home half of the first. 1-0 Reds.

Four players in each line-up tonight are batting .200 or less. Not like the old days with these teams, is it?

Keller pitching himself into and out of trouble in the third. Reds still lead 1-0 after two and a half.

Bae leads off the third by being hit by a pitch clocked at 100 mph. That’s gonna leave a mark.

Bucs tie the score at one, Bae scoring as Reynolds grounds into a double play. Both runs tonight scored by runners who reached by being hit by a pitch.
