Wild Card!

[Manfred]

The Bucs made it. Waited till the last possible game to pull out home field advantage? Arrieta is 11-0 since the first of August. Can the Bucs get even 1 run against him, and can Cole -NOT- give up a run or 2 early, and hang with the Cubs and scratch out a win? Hoping for the miraculous here. We'll see if it's really BUCtober or not.

3. Cutch
4. Marte
5. Walker
6. Pedro
7. Cervelli
8. Mercer
9. Riding on the Cole-Train

Dilemma: How do you -not- play A-RAM? I might sit Walker, put JHay @ 2nd, Ramirez @ 3rd. TOUGH choice!

[Coach]

J Hay at short?

When is the last time he played there?

Walker will play as a lefty bat.

[DragonsDoExist]

Yeah I think the only question is whether it's JHay or ARam at 3rd.

[Crimson's Ghost]

Aramis Ramirez is in a slump, Walker and Harrison are hitting well right now. Harrison can't play short, and the Pirates can't afford to have Mercer's glove on the bench.


I don't see how Ramirez is starting tomorrow.



And if this isn't a big enough indication.... Josh Harrison is the only Pirate available to the media tomorrow before the game.

[DragonsDoExist]

Looks like Clint's going with defense! SRod at 1st, JHay at 3rd.
