Hope not

[MMMordabito]

Gallo job security looking good ATM.

[jkcarew]

I’m guessing Farmer had not been in the tunnel taking swings??
 

Practice is overrated.

[IndianaTwin]

Said it before. I trust Farmer as much in those situations as anyone.

[stringer bell]

If Gallo replaces Farmer in the order and Wallner in the field, Rocco is out of moves.

You say that like it's a good thing.

How much warning did he get?

 

What is this "practice" you speak of?

[IndianaTwin]

Ohtani was batting with the score 1-1. It quickly became 5-1.

Twins obviously didnt see that coming.

Can't say I saw that either...

[stringer bell]

Does Rocco still go with Pagán with a four-run lead? I suppose since he was already warmed up.

Speaking of, it’s given up a dozen, with two more on in the seventh. They’re 14.5 back, and I’m still looking for 20.

[Shaitan]

I thought they'd put Lewis in LF, Farmer at 3B.

Does this mean Lewis is done in the OF?

Nope. Gallo is in LF. 

Edit: Welp, that’s what the radio guys said, but box score doesn’t reflect that.

Thanks, watching on Gameday, says Farmer still LF

At least for this year, they’ve said. I don’t mind letting him settle in at 3B. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

1-2-3 8th.

 

I thought this was supposed to be an exciting game.

 

Not even a save situation...

[IndianaTwin]

Emilioooooo.
