Bucs trade the gridiron for the diamond

TAMPA — As Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston serenaded his teammates with Take Me out to the Ball Game in warmups, it was obvious something was going to be different about Monday's practice.

Thunderstorms that dumped a lot of rain on the practice fields at One Buc Place forced the team to hold a closed practice at Tropicana Field. Aside from not wearing pads as planned and a little post-play dustup with the offensive line by defensive end Robert Ayers, coach Dirk Koetter was pleased with the way the Bucs handled the audible.
