Shelton says "Offensively, we can’t get picked off first,” Shelton said. “We have to get a bunt down. Those are the things that stand out the most. Runner at second base in the eighth and we’re the home team, we have to score a run."

Question sportswriters never ask... "your club seems to fail regularly getting bunts down and bring guys in who are in scoring position with nobody out Derek. How often to your guys practice these situational plays".

Pop up single to 2nd base according to game day. In my head I’m picturing another Davis/Triolo miscommunication! Tell me it was unwatchable?

Bido basically sawed off the hitter high and in, just out of Triolo's reach. Davis had no shot at it.

Bido jammed him and it just doinked between them. No miscommunication this time lol

I should turn on the game to watch Reynolds' walk-off homer...

What's crazy is that I'll never know if I jinxed him by typing this out or by not turning on the game to watch

According to game day- Shelby is getting squeezed badly. Anyone watching on TV? Is it as bad as it looks online?

One obvious miss on the first strike three.

Definitely missed strike 3 in the last inning

That inning was really something.

I applaud this move from whomever is managing.

would be happy to hear Rabelo was named the manager for the rest of the year

Ah, no. He's Shelton lite!

Buck Farmer has a career 5 ERA and 1.44 WHIP.

He's now in his 10th year in MLB.

He's made $6.5 million.

Nice job if you can get it.

if i never see a bunt again in my life that would be great thanks

Alternatively, every player in the lineup should be able to lay down a simple sac bunt

not a fan of giving away outs

I hear ya. Peggy’s was one of the few times i was in favor

It's hard to get a bunt down and get good launch angle....

I dont love bunting peggy there, especially with 2 strikes. Hes still gotta get it down

Expand full comment

I feel like we are out of pitching for tonight

Expand full comment

A little defense wouldn’t hurt. You know, like catching the ball. That second run and any that might come after are squarely on playing a catcher in right field.

Expand full comment

If Bido starts tomorrow, we'll really see what's it's like to be out of pitching!

Please put outfielders in the outfield. This is getting painful to watch.

Expand full comment

Do that and you'll immediately get complaints about why Shelton is giving Palacios so much playing time.

This is something we need to live with for now till Davis figures it out or doesn't. Not like Bucs are contending this year.

Expand full comment

It wouldn't be a Shelton team without somebody playing badly out of position.

Expand full comment

nice to see him turn it on once were 10 games out of it
