    Especially since the next game may turn into a bullpen game. There I said it. ;)

    You can’t possibly tell me Yuli has been a net positive on a consistent basis. Especially hitting in the 2-hole. I’m so glad he could hit a single up the middle for a change to drive in a run.

    You have to find a way to get Mancinis bat in the lineup over guys like Dubon.

    I agree with you, but St. Musty shall not be criticized for running Gurriel out there in the 2 hole just because he hits 632 OPS vs righties while Mancini sits on the bench while hitting 751 OPS vs righties. We have the best record in the American League and it's all because of Musty's brilliant line-ups.

    I have low expectations for LM. Please surprise me.

    Nothing yet on transactions to clear roster spots. 40 and active.

    Lol, ain't that the truth. I'm expecting him to give up 4 or less today, but closer to 4. Would be a miracle if he could get to 5 and have a quality start (thru 5).

    Apparently Logue is starting, a lefty... and Chaz is in CF. Mancini is in left to boot.

    A case of temporary insanity from Dusty? If Yuli and Pena were swapped in the order I would call this lineup damn near perfect.

    No major complaints about this lineup, no sir, this looks good.

    Looks like Martinez was sent down for Lance.

    Off topic, Julia Morales tweeted Jason Castro crutched his way into the clubhouse. Is this the first time he's been with his teammates since the surgery?
