This is a key weekend series where the Bumblin' Bucs can wreak havoc in the AL Central division before going on the road to face the hated Cards and even more hated Reds. There's no sense bashing Shelty and GMBC who may not be around after the season.

I guess they're taking a good look at how well Cook can sit on the bench.

I was thinking the same thing. I am sure that Sheltons razor sharp
analytics come into play.

Let's Go Bucs!!!

I guess this is probably the best lineup they could put out there, except for I would much rather have Cook playing RF then BDLC. I'm guessing they know what they have in Cook, they're just giving BDLC more AB's seeing as they traded for him.

[Wildwoodcoach]

You aren't playing the Marlins and Nationals boys. Ortiz 60 pitches
in two innings. 6-0 Royals. This is a team that was 56-106 last year

Okay boys, pave the way for Shelty GMBC out of town.

I sure hope so. But quality replacements won't be lining up to work with Nutting. That's how we ended up with losers like Cherington and Shelton.

At least the Pirates signaled to their fans very early on that this game wasn't going to be worth watching.
