This should be a slam dunk series for the Bucs, oh, remember that A's series. I could moan and groan about my boy Joe not in the lineup but that would do no good. From BOB on down this organization needs to be held accountable. Okay Dave, put your 2 cents in worth. I'll be getting ready for bed when this one starts so I will check in first thing in the morning.

Reynolds is resting and 2 players in the lineup are hitting over .237. :lol:

I guess that due to the fact that Reynolds is over 25 years of age
he needs a day off

MY friend, when it comes to the bucs there is no such
thing as a slam dunk. You will have to go to the Petersen
Events Center to witness a Slam Dunk

Absolutely by one of the "Twins" from the Canary Islands.

Let's Go Bucs!!!

Remember people there are only 4 on the bench. Over the last 30 days, just using BA, the Pirates top hitters in order are: Delay, Joe, Hayes, Reynolds, Williams, Rodriguez, Peguero, McCutchen, Bae, Rivas, Palacios, Capra, and Suwinski.

As it seems the board wants Endy catching, Delay is a good bench call. In fact, we have a pretty impressive bench tonight, with Hayes and Reynolds both sitting too.

This was a night to sit McCutchen, and let Reynolds get his "rest" as the DH. If they wanted Cutch to play, tonight would have been a good night for him to be in RF, but anyone who has watched him closely, he's clearly hobbled a bit.

Suwinski needs to be sent down. Having said that, he'll hit 3 HR's tonight.

Why wait until later, let’s get right to it. Bucs squander a two on, nobody out situation in the first and come away with no runs.
