Yovani Gallardo

9-4, 3.92

Gallardo returned to form as he picked up his second win of the month and was charged with just one earned run. He bounced back after a rough outing against the Rex Sox and will face the Twins once again in his next start.

Francisco Liriano

4-7, 4.98

He looked good early in the game, but a five-run third that featured a two-run homer, four singles, two errors and a walk dealt Liriano a loss in his last start vs. the Brewers. Liriano is 3-2 with a 4.05 ERA in five career starts against Milwaukee.

Wow, I really didn't try to line up the starting pitcher pictures like that. It would look cool if Liriano's arm wasn't cut off.

So protection is more important than getting guys on base in front of Braun and Fielder. Good job DPR.

Those images are just begging for a R rated photo shop job

Well, technically they can't drive in runs if they get pitched around. Can only have one or the other right now. Hart needs to be hitting 5th, so there's not much to do against LHP in the 2 hole. It's either hit McGehee 5th or Gomez 2nd. Both suck, so I'll take the protection. Gomez had a great game against Liriano last week too. I hate this lineup anyway.

[razzzorsharp]

So who is the DH? Fielder or McGehee?

Well, he could always put Hart in 2 and Lucroy in 5, or the other way around...Then again, the back end of that lineup would be an absolute black hole of suck.

 

McGehee is 12/67 with 12 singles this year against LHP (4BB). Ouch!

[PrinceEatMeat]

McGehee. Wilson is playing 3B.

You also have the team records flipped around. And it says Gallardo instead of Brewers and Baker instead of Gallardo in the thread title.

Anyone get to here the Tony Plush interview on the Jim Rome show today? I missed it, but all the comments afterwards sounded like Morgan killed the interview as one would expect.

There ya go.

[thablingster]

I love how Morgan wished T-Plush a happy birthday. "Ahhhh, I gotta go!" will soon be worked into my lexicon.

[Funketown]

I just remembered I have a Nyjer Morgan autographed baseball card from when he was a rookie for the Pirates a few years back. I have no clue where it is, but I'm curious to know whether he signed as Plush or Nyjer.

[razzzorsharp]

Delay looming? The tarp is out.

[davego]

I really hope that Francisco isn't "Francisco" tonight.

[razzzorsharp]

Rainless delay? Nice roof.

[sdcheezhd]

T. Plush. Nyjer Morgan. My daughter. All July 2!

[Oxy]

This is dumb. It looks like they could be playing for 1.5-2 hrs before it really rains. Instead we are probably looking at a 930-10 oclock start or a rainout. So probably a rainout. And it's not even raining.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Well this is looking to be a pointless rainout. Disappointing. This is why you put a roof on your stadium Minnesota.

[jason21nl]

I have like 10 friends that drove to the game today...I couldn't imagine driving that far just to have the game rained out.

[natronek8780]

I'm going to be there tomorrow night and Sunday. Looks like I might have gotten lucky on the weather. Who knows, maybe I'll get a double header!

[hawing]

And here I thought the tarp was on the field because it was raining at the time. That'll show me to think. #wherestheroof

[Oxy]

I guess this may work out. Our middle relief is awfully thin and shaky right now, especially since we didn't activate Saito. Gallardo for an hour and then a delay probably wouldn't have been the best thing. The system looks to be moving pretty quick so hopefully they get started before 9.

Apparently the official start time is 9 PM.

[Funketown]

These games suck when for us Eastern Time Zoners. Hopefully Gallardo lasts longer than I do!
