Wildwood Dave has his big 90th

(or at least he looks 90) BD tomorrow and a sweep of our enemies would be a great BD gift.

PLEASE BEAT EM BUCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darn good thing you guys are related, or he would feed you to that old lion at the Cape May County Zoo!

Dave is only 69!! (Jack Benny already claimed 39 for life)
That Lion is very selective what he eats.- bucs is safe

I can't help but think this might be Mitch Keller's last or second to last shot to have a place in the rotation/bullpen. When Brault is ready, you know he's coming up, and someone has to go.

The Pirates have hinted at a 6 man rotation the rest of the way. Hmmmm, let's see, who do they have right now as starting pitchers:

Brubaker

Crowe

Kranick

M. Keller

Kuhl

Wilson

I count six. One of them will have to go, or push someone else out of a reliever spot.

Kranick and Keller have gigundous bullseyes to be AAA bound (they both should be, but, you know the filling out a roster thing)

So I had to laugh about the pre-game show talking about Keller going back to the windup instead of always pitching out of the stretch. Talking about his timing, velocity, control, etc.

I laughed because I said he's still going to be pitching out of the stretch most of the time anyhow.

I'm being forced to listen to Blech and McKenry on the radio today. It's a lot like having tinnitus, only with more nausea.

Keller started the day with a 7.04 ERA.

I guess if he lowers it a tick, that's improvement

Is "super secret scouting report" going to become another catch phrase for Brown?

Keller becomes the Bucs first baserunner of the day.
