Official Game Thread - 8/30 - Bucs @ Royals

[Doc]

82 RBI for a guy playing for the Royals....that's pretty special

Witt’s a special talent, really athletic and a great baseball IQ. He’s going to get a boatload when his time’s up in KC.

[Doc]

Bucs retired on just eight pitches. 3-1 Bucs halfway through five.

Some nice defense that inning by the Bucs with the double play and nice running catch by Suwinski

[Doc]

Jackson pitching really well. Just one mistake through five. Still 3-1 Pirates. Let’s add a few, boys.

Starting to get to Jackson a little bit- With an off day
tomorrow, Shelton might want to think about going to
the Pen.

[Doc]

Bucs down in order in the sixth. Sure like to see them add a few more runs.

[Surgnbuck]

Shelton lucked out there. I would have pulled Jackson if anyone got on. Why on earth did he let him face Witt? Dude has pitched a great game, really out kicked his coverage on this one, and was almost set up to have it all ruined.

[Surgnbuck]

Borucki gets the final out. Jackson 5.2, 1 ER.

Now let's get some runs.

WWD was right, day off tomorrow, a complete game tossed Monday, only 2 relievers yesterday after the opener/bulk guys went 7. Tonight was a night to use the early hook

[Surgnbuck]

Suwinski finally homers!!!!!

Great to get that run back!!!!

Hatch on the patch
