Was Agrazal on anyone's radar before this year? I'd barely heard of the guy when he got the call up.

He was taken off the 40 man roster in the off season but no one claimed him so he went to Altoona, then Indy and then the Pirates.

This adds to further evidence that it’s time for Neal Huntington to go. Just too many bad trades and too much poor roster mismanagement in the 4 years now that this team has missed the playoffs.

They really needed to take advantage of Smyly

Too bad, another quality start by Agrazal and nothing to show for it. The last few games the Bucs have gotten decent starting pitching but some lousy BP work and the suddenly "silenced bats" have cost Agrazal and the other starters.

Crick didn't walk anyone!!!

Bell is trying way too hard. He swung at the first 2 pitches in the 9th that were balls. Josh needs to understand that he is not going to get anything to hit and stop swinging so freely at pitches out of the zone.

Two golden opportunities in bottom of 9th and 10th: winning run on 3rd with 1 out.

And Philly takes advantage with a solo HR top of the 11th.
