Hey Shelty, what has Choi done to deserve another start? What has Bae done to not deserve another start?

[Bobster21]

It's a Sunday lineup. I feel bad for fans who bought tickets for the 3rd game of the first home series and won't see Cutch or Bae. They'll get Hayes (.152) elevated to 3rd in the lineup, Choi (.063) batting 5th, CSN (.167) 6th, Suwinski (.071) 8th and Heineman catching. Connor joe made the mistake of having a great game on Friday and has sat since. After the day off last Thursday, Cutch played the next 2 games but has to sit after a 3 hit/HR game. And Bae, who brings so much energy to the lineup, will also sit. This is not a lineup from a manager/GM that's trying to win.

CSN with a triple, what great hustle!

[Surgnbuck]

Castro walks.....Suwinski has a chance to make some waves

[Surgnbuck]

SAC for Jack! 1-0 Bucs

[Surgnbuck]

1-2-3 for Oviedo, just what you want to see after scoring.

[Bobster21]

Oviedo looking very good thru 3.

[Bobster21]

Very strange top of 5th.

[Bobster21]

Oviedo has been fun to watch today. I wonder if Sheltington's lineup can produce a second hit.

Between pitch counts, batter readiness counts and a grass penalty, this game is seeming like an NFL game with a flag thrown on almost every play.
