Bucs

2B I. Kiner-Falefa R
LF B. Reynolds S
SS Oneil Cruz L
DH Joey Bart R
1B Rowdy Tellez L
C Y. Grandal S
RF B. McKinney L
3B Jared Triolo R
CF Ji Hwan Bae L
SP LL Ortiz R

Rangers

2B M. Semien R
SS Corey Seager L
DH Josh Smith L
RF A. Garcia R
1B N. Lowe L
3B Josh Jung R
LF W. Langford R
C Jonah Heim S
CF L. Taveras S
SP Dane Dunning R

Triolo at 3B (Hayes on 10-day IL). Bart is at DH with Grandal catching. :x Otherwise I can't complain about this lineup too much. Shelty is handcuffed by GMBC and his crappy way of acquiring and promoting players. Now if Shelty will just figure out how to manage a game to win.

I'm rooting for McKinney. On one of his player pages, there's a picture of him running after swinging, in a minor league uniform. He looks exactly how I picture Doc when he was young.

Of course, we'll never know for sure, because photography hadn't been invented when Doc was young. The closest we can get to is a couple of cave drawings.

You know, my Little League teammate, Tommy Jefferson, wouldn’t think you’re so funny.

No funny bone in that guy anyhow. He was all about declarations and stuff.

We’ll, he did have that independence streak in him.

I see Grandal is in the line-up tonight. I was ragging on him when Skenes pitched last week
and he had two hits including a Home Run. I don't care if he goes 4-4 tonight and drives in 4.
Shelton must be under some illusion that they are still in the playoff hunt. I think they are going to
have a tough time equalling last years win total especially if they shut Skenes down. Grandal won't be
here next year. In fact, I hope he is gone Sept.1. Bart should be Catching and De La Cruz who
should be here next year should be the DH. I guess the bucs got him to sit on the Bench.

Corey Seager homers in the first. Talk about a class act. He’s what a great shortstop plays like. 1-0 Rangers.

McKinney singles in his first at bat to put runners on the corners with two outs in the 2nd.
