4 switch hitters in the lineup. I never really paid much attention

to it but that seems quite a few

[INbuc]

Lodolo is really tough on lefties -- has only given up 5 hits in 41 plate appearances this year. Righties have 307 PAs against him, so a lot of LH hitters have been avoiding him this season. I was disappointed the Bucs couldn't sign Lodolo when they drafted him several years ago.

[DemDog]

Castro hits a 3-run dinger putting the Bucs up 3-1.

[2drfischer@gmail.c]

Castro continues to show he’s a hitter.

[CarolinaBucco]

I'd be willing to commit to the following as starters in 2023:



2B Castro

SS Cruz

3B Hayes

CF Reynolds

RF Suwinski



Then BC needs to figure out/upgrade C, 1B and LF



Sign 2 legitimate MLB proven starting pitchers and we might finally have something here ...

[MaineBucs]

Mitchell has often been driving the ball with authority as of late and he too could be a keeper.



While I really like Suwinski, I am not certain that he is ready to be a regular.

[MaineBucs]

A point in time moment in today's game --- as of the bottom of the 5th inning, everyone in the starting line-up (even Allen) is hitting .200 or better.

Anyone know why Contreras lifted? Only on GameDay here

Just limiting his innings.
