There you have the best lineup Shelty could pull out of his ass. If the Bucs could only find a genie to sprinkle some magic dust over the Guardians dugout we might have a chance at winning the game.

I'd really prefer to not see Joe in the line-up the rest of the way.

I’m willing to try anything if it’ll make him go away.

Cutch seems to be swinging more instead of trying to walk. Be nice for him to catch fire to finish out season.

top of the 7th, same exact situation, reliever in. Pirates sub in Joe and BDLC for Tellez and McKinney.
Tonight, righty comes in, yet with two on, no outs, they let Joe and BDLC flail away instead of bringing in the lefties.
There's no rhyme or reason to the managing here. I'm actually not so much complaining, as to wondering why the matchup game isn't played in this instance.
It really drives me insane that Joe is now the new Sean Rodriguez. I'm more okay with BDLC staying in to hit, I trust him more over the course of the game than McKinney.
Tellez should have been hitting in Joe's spot, and it's just another example of Shelton not doing the obvious thing when it's been his MO
