All the more bizarre that he batted leadoff so often. Must be nice to be as smart as Shelton. ::)

We’ve all seen examples of guys batting in weird positions in the order over our time as fans, but what Shelton has done is beyond the pale, Vogelbach hitting lead-off being the epitome of weird.

Suwinski with a doub-double.

He stinks. He didn’t hit even one HR tonight.

Vogelbach crushes one off the CF wall. 9-1. Bucs don't have a lot of hits, but the ones they've had have been pretty impressive.

Now, now, don’t get carried away. It’s not possible to compete in Major League Baseball with players earning the minimum. A team can’t expect to succeed without a near-total roster of veterans, especially several of whom are very expensive free agents.
Well said, doc

Heineman finally hits a ball hard that isn't right at someone.
