3/24 Game thread

I believe the Buc- Braves Game is on MLB Network today. Possum will follow with the line-up ( I hope)



Here it is. It is also on AT&T Sportsnet



1. Adam Frazier (L) 2B

2. Ke'Bryan Hayes (R) 3B

3. Bryan Reynolds (S) LF

4. Colin Moran (L) 1B

5. Gregory Polanco (L) RF

6. Kevin Newman (R) SS

7. Dustin Fowler (L) CF

8. Jacob Stallings (R) C

9. JT Brubaker (R) P



Clay Holmes, Chasen Shreve, Nick Mears, Max Kranick, and Braeden Ogle to follow Brubaker in some order

This has all the looks of what the starting lineup is going to be. Difo PH, I'm guessing we're also getting an idea of who's going to be on the bench.



5 IP for Brubaker, 3 hits, but 2 leave the yard.

He had 6 Ks and 1 BB.  51 of his 72 pitches went for strikes.  It would be 1-0 Bucs if the Braves Austin Riley was not in the lineup.  His 2 mammoth dingers account for all the Braves runs off Brubaker.



One more thing. I think Matt Capps is tired of Block's BS and rumbling on off-topic.

Bucs in midseason form, Moran can't plate a guy from third with no outs, but Polanco comes through to drive in Moran

[Surgnbuck]

Atta boy Newman.....a sac fly! Pirates take the lead.

I think Capps is doing a good job of injecting his thoughts instead of letting Block ramble. When those 2 did radio the other day, Capps didn't get to say much. Usually Block rambles all game and the color man doesn't get to say much other than respond to what Block is saying. But Capps isn't waiting for Block to talk. As a result, Capps is doing a lot of talking and severely cutting into Block's ability to dominate the broadcast. Which IMO is making this the best Block broadcast ever! He's doing more PBP and less unrelated rambling and Capps is providing whatever commentary he want s without waiting for Block to call on him.



I think this make Capps today's MVP.

Stokes was a PR for Reynolds, was the guy thrown out at home. Alford had PR for Polanco. Fowler already in the game.



We already know one of the bench guys will be a catcher, so that leaves three spots. Fowler, Alford, and Stokes are all probably fighting for one spot, and they comprise the OF right now. No doubt Todd Frazier gets a spot. Evans just went into the game, he has to be in the mix too.



Joe Hudson in as catcher. He's had a nice spring at the plate. Interesting he's getting the call here, not Perez or Wolters

[Surgnbuck]

Panda still in the game. Whoda thunk after the Boston disaster, he'd still be playing?

Earlier today Stokes and Hudson were cut. They're just filling in as warm bodies today.

Nice home run by Nick Gonzales. Our future second baseman.
