And of course Rocco has to get every RH bat in, for what? To weaken the defense? We have one run through 4. What good did it do to load the lineup with weak RH bats?
I've also been to the Trop.
An embarrassing ****hole that has no business hosting MLB baseball.
I will admit to a very strong dislike for every baseball stadium with a roof though.
