Bad strike 3 call on Polanco but the odds of him getting a hit weren't good anyway.

As Bobster has frequently noted, it is hard to believe that someone with his build is unable to drive the ball. With Gamel and Gonzalez both able to play first, and Moran not that far off, I believe Craig will be the next to go when Brubaker needs to be added back onto the roster.
You know it's bad when Gonzalez gets his spot because we need more offense.

Isn't "Gonzalez" and "more offense" in the same sentence an oxymoron?

Not when "more" references Craig.

Sad, isn't it?

Why can't Polanco trip and fall up the steps or something? Get a real bad cold? Forget how to find his way to the park?
Why can't he get injured taking his shirt off like Zach Plesac?

I think the reason he hasn't gotten hurt yet is that he's never on base.

Wow, that's a stat- 244 players on IL in MLB, and average of 8 per team

I can't believe Stallings watched a pitch that caught so much of the plate for strike three. But I wish he was batting 4th. Why on earth do you have a guy who barely even makes contact hitting 4th over a guy who actually is a major league hitter?

Shelton and his continued "showcasing" of Polanco. This has to end, but I'm afraid he's here until after the trade deadline, then they'll dump him.

Welp, we're moving into "that dreaded inning" territory. So far doing pretty good.

Bucs would have the lead if Polanco were as fundamentally sound as the marlins pitcher who was like 1-32 but got a beaut of a bunt down to move the runner into scoring position.
