Oh ye of little faith Shelton. Henry should get a chance to start 2 straight games over Grandal.

Possum, you're forgetting Shelton's first rule: if a player gets a hit, he sits out the next game. It's very tiring being on base.

Interesting that Nicky g has started at ss against last 2 lefties.

It's just the Alzheimer's disease kicking in!

Wildwood won't be with us tonight. He has some sort of banquet he needs to go to tonight. So let's hope he doesn't jinx the Bucs by being away.

Skenes makes it look easy in the first with two strikeouts and a fly out.

Not only did Davis have a double, but he caught a shutout. And Skenes is a similar type to Jones. I guess Shelton is hoping for a different result tonight. But as we know, everybody has to play (except Peguero. He could have played SS with Gonzales at 2B).

I’ve never been able to figure out Jason Heyward. He never came close to being the player he was projected to be when he first arrived but, when it comes to playing against the Pirates, it seems like we can’t get him out.

Two more strikeouts for Skenes as he works around a Heyward double. No score after one and a half.

Just like Kolton Wong!
