My apologies Possum, you asked me to pick up starting the 7th.

With the "unknown" quantity at first base, as of right now, if Difo were playing RF this would be the best Bucs lineup they could muster. However, Difo becomes the only legit bat on the bench, so all in all, this is Shelty's Dream Team.

I say "unknown" because I think we "know", but as always, maybe this time, the "stuff" sticks!

I have dibs on having called Nogowski "Bronco" as a nickname. Play on similarity in names to the NFL great.

If he gets hits in his first two AB's tonight, his BA will surpass DeJong's current BA.

And if Nogowsky doesn't get a hit, he can be "NoGo."

Nice to see him hitting 5th with his .056 BA. But I guess somebody had to bat 5th. They can't all bat 8th.

No problem Surg, I am busy getting stuff ready for my trip to Chicagoland so you can gladly play Shelty and pull me early! ;D ;D ;D ;D I should be back by the end of the AS Break.

Don't let them give you too much heck in Chicago. Just remind them we have just as many All Stars as the Cubs, and a starter to boot!

Two batters in, two hits and a run scored.

Acuna smashes a lead off single, Freeman smashes one to the Clemente wall, while Evans plays hot potato with it Acuna comes around to score.

DeJong picking up right where he left off
