Official Game Lineup - 4/25 - Bucs @ Dodgers

[JollyRoger8]

Strikes out Muncy. An umpdate (get that, see how I did that? UMPdate?) He's squeezing Yamamoto now too.

Someone usually throws the ump scorecard on Reddit the next day, I'll be interested to see how he actually grades out as opposed to my own grading system.

Skenes just can't get this Pages, who once again flips a ball down the right field line for another double, and Reynolds once again looked like one of the ball girls.

Shame, he had him set up to strike out the side, now has to face Ohtaini with a guy in scoring position again. Can't keep messing around like this, I don't care how good Skenes is.

This was one of the worst umpired game I have seen this season. Ump was missing an incredible amount of pitches that were strikes. He did this to both Skenes and Yamamoto but a greater percentage of missed calls on Skenes. This drove up the pitch count for both pitchers. Otherwise Skenes could have gone 8 innings

Noah Davis on to pitch for the Dodgers.

Valez draws a lead off walk. Will Shelty have Hayes bunting? Triolo pinch runs for Valdez. Valdez has really started to produce at clean up for the Bucs

Ditto
Valdez has been crushing the ball

[Wildwoodcoach]

Great to beat that payroll!!

I'm still jacked that Davis wasn't awarded a hit. Maybe someone else will have an opinion on the play.

I guess what bothers me about it is I'm tired of seeing guys in our lineup with batting averages below .200, and he's at .136 right now.

Agreed. Davis should have been given a hit. Perhaps it will be changed tomorrow. Also I’m on the Pham must go bandwagon. We just can’t afford to carry a .170 hitting OF with 0 HR.
BC needs to admit it was a poor decision and eat the contract

This is what infuriates me about these knuckleheads in management. Pham has to be paid whether he plays every inning, sits on the bench every inning, or is released. It's far more beneficial to release him because it allows someone who will play better take his place. I can't understand why these guys don't get that.

Also, he would be replaced by a minimum salary player from AAA. So it's not as if they would pay another player millions to take Pham's spot.

I too am on the bandwagon to give Pham his walking papers. He didn’t hit much in ST and he is still struggling. Another 0-4 last night. Play Gorski in left field.
