At least Shelton figured out Newman is a #9 hitter; not a #5 hitter. Or maybe he just drew the names out of a bigger hat today. Now it's VanMeter's turn to bat 5th. Too bad they couldn't sign a Vogelbach type in the off season to bat 5th behind Yoshi.

with this line up Gamel is probably the best leadoff hitter. The Bucs would have a better chance if they only had to use 5 hitters over and over. The DH hasn't lengthened the line up any.

41 pitch 1st inning for Mikolas. at least Pirates get 1 after bases loaded, no outs.

I think Tucker should bat lead off until it is determined he cannot hit MLB pitching.

Good velocity but fastballs alone doesn't get it done

To me, he’s already proven that.

Pirates lose 6-2. If Pirate pitchers give up more than 3 runs,

I don't see how they will win 60

Batting Vogelbach first feels so Lloyd McClendon.
