Great play by Mercer. Nice scoop by Bell.

Newman boots a simple ball at 2nd, allows go a-head run.

Hurdle needs someone to put out the fire. Who better than ......NEVERauskas. Maybe he can lower his 10.47 ERA.

.... and a NEVERauskas WP scores a run.

... and an infield hit vs NEVERauskas scores another run. Obviously Hurdle gave up on this game when it was 3-1 in the 8th. But they have nothing to play for so there's really nothing to give up on. Maybe this September is the last chance for NEVERauskas to show he belongs in the organization.

Pablo Reyes makes his MLB debut. Just 2 years ago I saw him play for the Bradenton Marauders.

The good news is that altho NEVERauskas allowed 2 of his 3 inherited runners to score, he lowered his ERA to 10.06.

Was Neverauskas really the best they could do to call up a reliever?

Sunk costs Bucs, sunk costs.

I could see them wanting to use him a lot this month to help decide if he should stay on the 40 man roster.

Hey Bobster did the ghost of Dick "Dr. Strangeglove" Stuart haunt Mercer and the Bucs on defense today! :'(
