Shelty has picked an almost total RH-hitting. lineup save for Ji Hwan Bae. Jackson gets perhaps his last audition for staying on the 40-man roster.

Lets knock the Reds out of the playoffs

[Bobster]

I think Jackson may have a BP role next year. But he shouldn't be in the 2024 rotation. If, unlike 2023, there is such a thing.

[Surgnbuck]

Let's Go Bucs!!!

[Doc]

Thankfully, Williams remains in reserve. Shelton, or whoever’s making out the line-up, is finally getting the hang of this.

[Doc]

Not a good start. Perhaps the Bucs are hungover from last night’s win. A couple of strikeouts and foul pop-up in the infield. Reds coming to bat, with Jonathan India ready to hit his requisite HR either now or later.

[Doc]

Well squeeze me tight and kiss me hard. India just struck out.

[Doc]

Jackson with a messy, 34-pitch first inning. But, incredibly, the Reds don’t score. Onto the 2nd.

[Possum]

Jackson stinks.

[Wildwoodcoach]

34 pitches for Jackson. He won't be in long which
is a good thing
