Official Game Thread - 7/3 - Buc vs Cards

[Surgnbuck]

Bart with a sac fly to bring in Gonzo, 2-1 Bucs.

Now that was nice, down 0-2 just tried to get it in play.

[Bobster]

Jones out at 78 pitches. Gotta protect his arm for when he goes to the Yankees. Now the stellar middle relief crew can take over.

[Surgnbuck]

Guess Reynolds says, "Gave you June, someone else up". What a horrid at bat following a Cutch double, can't even move him over

[Surgnbuck]

Reynolds absolutely responsible for that inning not producing a run.

He never gets enough flack.

[Surgnbuck]

Lead off double, 2-3-4 hitters up, and Cutch is still sitting on second. Reynolds first pitch swinging, should be looking for something he can pull, but no, right to the short stop. If he moves over, Cruz drives him in. Great catch by Siani, he seems to do that at least once a game against us now.

And nothing better than the guy with an OPS of .638 hitting cleanup. Gee, I wonder if there is a hot hitter in the lineup who bats left handed that might have been a better choice to bat clean up?

I have to turn the game off. I just can't deal with lazy play from the highest paid player on the team, just a plain stupid manager, and a bad day to boot.


Let's Go Bucs!!!!!

This one is hard to believe, but I gotta say Tellez is probably our smartest and most aggressive base runner. He seems to take the extra base and makes it safely.

[Bobster]

Tellez's 3rd hit is a HR. 3-1.

[Bobster]

3-3 after Contreras 2-run HR off Holderman.

[Bobster]

Great play by Tellez to end the Cards' 9th. He's having a night.

[Bobster]

The real game ends 3-3 after 9. Now the foolishness begins. Shelton went to the BP after 5 innings so Chapman will go another inning as the BP is getting sparse.
