Our MVP isn't playing today.

8.5 back in the Wild Card standings

8 back in the division

I wonder where those will stand at the end of this series.

Roster moves for Friday:

- RHP Josh Sborz activated from 15-day Injured List.
- RHP Dane Dunning placed on 15-day Injured List (Right shoulder soreness), retroactive to July 4.

Our MVP isn't playing today.

At least he is a solid PH if needed.

From Shawn McFarland:

Josh Smith is out with, effectively, glute tightness. It’s the same thing that sidelined him for a bit in June, though he hopes it’ll only keep him out a day or two.

 

[saddles]

Hopefully Sborz can help out in some of those 7th innings.

Antoine Kelly is being transferred to the ACL from Frisco to try and get hum tight again.

Management must think the team is still in it for a playoff spot as Grant Anderson and Grossman are still on the roster. It’s like they’re Krazy Glued to it. Once in a while Anderson shows up good but Grossman has negative added value.

 

[saddles]

An updated lineup. Adolis will DH.

Tiger, Santos and Leiter all pitch this evening.

From Jared Sandler:

On this date in 1998, Juan Gonzalez (101) joined Hank Greenberg (103, 1935) as the only players in MLB history w/ 100+ RBI before the All-Star Break.

Gonzalez did it by hitting 2 HR—both off of Randy Johnson—on Sunday Night Baseball in the final game before the Break.

Seimien drops one. Needs another day off?

 

[DT LUNA]

Lorenzen will have a short night.

Shane Baz hasn't thrown a pitch in the big leagues in 2 years. He'll probably no hit these guys.

Don’t know what these announcers are watching. One the them just said this team is showing signs of coming out of it. Then Heim strikes out. Here’s your sign.

They are paid to say stuff like that.

Tiger, Santos and Leiter all pitch this evening.

And Rosario, as well.

Good to see Hill doing well with the bat.

 

[DT LUNA]

Good night for Lorenzen
