Added Mariners lineup.

[wsnydes]

Another toasty game today.  The bats largely did their part last night, hopefully the pitching can do theirs today.

[Vanimal46]

Joe is overdue to pitch a gem. Maybe today is the day. 

[stringer bell]

Day off for Kirilloff? I know he's played almost every day, but get nervous when he's not in the lineup against a right hander.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I have three standing room tickets to the game, first person who PMs me gets them for free.

Are you suggesting that you don't want to go hang out with the huddled masses on this sauna-like day?🙂

Hopefully a day where Ryan doesnt give up multiple HR

Nah, it's because I booked three tickets to take the kids - who are in summer school but I could take them out if I really wanted to - and because it's the middle of trade deadline season. I went to the game on Monday, my Twins bucket is full for the time being and I really should be working.

Gallo in the lineup, again.

What are we doing here?

Agreed, Gallo 4-40 with 24 K's in July.

Overall slash line for July:   .100/.217/.325 (.542 OPS) and 1 case of pink eye...

But people are going to hang onto that OPS+ of 102 or something.

Gallo continuing to be in this lineup is malpractice and insanity.

[LA Vikes Fan]

Are we showcasing Gallo for a trade? Sorry, I couldn't say that without laughing. He has a good game, maybe we get a full bucket of balls for him rather than a halt bucket

Full bucket or no deal!

My question is will he be available to pinch hit if the opportunity presents itself? If not, we’re intentionally playing with a short bench.

I would assume no and that we are playing with a short bench for 4 to 6 days.

What is Rock-O's fascination with Gallo? The guy is worthless, and shouldn't be in there at all. 

He is a good fielder.

I read that like he would be as he can play against the two RHs in KC then off against the lefty. Getting 4 of the next 6 off, not 4 to 6 off.

I think you read correctly.

Gallo saves the day on Julien's not good throw.

That is why he is in the game.

[wsnydes]

Coulda done without that...

[Brock Beauchamp]

Julio Rodriguez is really, really good at baseball.

[RpR]

The bloom is off of Ryan's rose.

Lookint too much like Moran right now.

[insagt1]

i know its just after 2 innings, but the Twins are just hacking away at terrible pitches and already 4 very ugly k's. Some of the worst AB's imaginable. They looked clueless. Gotta stop this

This didn't age as well as we had hoped.

Seattle picking up where they left off last night. 

[tony&rodney]

Tough start for Ryan and the Twins, but Seattle had a rougher start last night.

[Dave Borton]

K-city once again. Good grief.
