Official Game Thread - 5/2 - Bucs @ Rays

Lead off double for Connor Joe....need to get him around at a minimum.



Castro batting from the left side now, and he's been pretty ineffective, at least get him over

Joe starts another comeback with his second double.

Need Bae and/or Marcano to step up their AB vs. lefty game, or Mathias has to thump them to be used as much as he is.



That dropped in fly ball leads to two runs. Hedges might be great calling a game, framing, and defense around the plate, but I have yet to see one good throw from him. Him and Mathias together on that steal was exceptionally sub-par
As John Wayne would say, "Well, that's about the size of it."

[Surgnbuck]

HBP....I think that one got him in the nuts!!



Marcano to PH for Mathias.



Bucs try a double steal here?

[2drfischer@gmail.c]

Castro wears one for he team. First and second, no outs.

[Surgnbuck]

Nice bunt by Marcano, almost beats it out....not sure I like the bunt there though, lot of speed on the bases and at bat, hard to double up

[2drfischer@gmail.c]

Marcano with a sac bunt puts both runners in scoring position.

[Surgnbuck]

Bunting in front of Hedges also seems kind of giving up an out before an automatic out, but maybe he'll come through

[Surgnbuck]

Wow, umpires blew the pitch clock thing there, should have been a balk, not one calls it....that's a little league balk at that



And Hedges strikes out, just what I was afraid of

Hedges strikes out. Néed a big hit from Hayes.
