Official Game Thread - 9/9 - Bucs @ Braves

[Doc]

It will be a lot less stressful going into Spring Training 2024 knowing the
Bucs have Endy behind the dish and not Hedges

I don’t have a problem with Endy being the #1 catcher but I’d like to know whay the Pirates management seems to have no faith at all in Davis being behind the plate. Is he that bad? Are they committed to him staying in RF? If that’s where he’s going to be, they need to spend a great deal of the offseason working with him in Bradenton to get him comfortable. He’s been a mess out there, and I think it’s affected his hitting.

Braves go 1-2-3

Joe Block (aka Mortimer Snerd) says this was the best 3.2 inning start he ever saw. 92 pitches, 3 runs, 9 hits, 1 BB, 1 HBP. Sure, Joe. It was a classic.

What a ridiculous thing to say. I never want to see someone lose his job but I sure wish he’d go to work somewhere else.

Brown oer Block- pick your poison

If I turn on the radio and Block is on, I turn it off. I’d rather not hear the game than listen to him. I’ll at least keep the radio on when Brown is on.

Dang it, I was hoping that would be Reynolds triple for the cycle hunt

Brown oer Block- pick your poison

I've always felt Brown is good at PBP. But he ruins it by always trying to be funny and coming up with very forced nicknames and catch phrases. I don't think Block is good at any facet of the job. So there's no good option. I keep hoping they'll both be replaced.

Reynolds having himself a night as he doubles. Needs a triple for the cycle.

[Surgnbuck]

Jesus forgives our sins, but He gave us Joe Block to listen to, reminding us to be good from here on out

[Surgnbuck]

7-3 Bucs!!! Andujar brings home Reynolds!!

[Doc]

Andujar having a good night, too. Drives home Reynolds making it 7-3 Bucs.

[Bobster]

Nice to see Andujar have a good game.
