Raise It!!! Bucs over the Card, 5-2. Brault with 82 pitches through 4 good innings. 1 earned run.

plus a Polanco Charlie Brown drop to put the Bucs behind 2-0.... Pretty decent first MLB start. 4 hits, 2 walks and 5 K's. Bucs scored 2 in the top of the 5th to even the score and ensure that Brault would not get a decision. Too bad the young man threw so many pitches in the 4th or maybe he could have pitched the 5th..... and maybe gotten the win as the Bucs have taken the lead in the top of the 6th.

Bucs with 6 wins in a row. The last 5 come from behind wins!

The downside was they used 5 pitchers in the win. Need a nice 7 or 8 inning outing tomorrow.....

1/2 game behind the Cards, and 9.5 behind the Cubs. Not great, but much better than we would have thought 2 weeks ago........

I have rarely watched games this year but I thought they were dead 2 weeks ago. There's a long way to go, but there may be some life in them yet.

Yep, it's too early to get on the Bucco's Bandwagon, but keep an eye on it if the seats start to fill up in August....
