Excited to be able to catch Wells for his first start, not sure why you'd have Mancini in the outfield if you wanted a decent defensive lineup.

They are DH'ing Tony today after he took that kneecap slider yesterday.

Rough series for Mullins.

[Natty]

Mullins off to a rough start. That's K #6 already. 

[SteveA]

At least the second time this year Mountcastle has gone with the pitch and lined it up the middle for a hit.  Old school George Brett / Charlie Lau vibes...

Kluber is going to kills today.

You only do it if you don't care about decent outfield defense.

Buck Ball.

Santander is locked in.

[Tony-OH]

Would be nice to get on the board early here!

[O-The-Memories]

Kluber looked at least somewhat healthy last year and clearly after winning two Cy Youngs has the experience and pitch selection to be a tough matchup. He isn't the same pitcher as in his prime, but he still presents challenges. 

I know it's way early to be concerned about Mullins but I'd like to see him actually make contact at least.  

[Tony-OH]

The stuff doesn't look that great from Kluber so far. 

[Tony-OH]

Mancini is doing a good job of fighting off some pitches..

Unitl he was embarrassed by an off the plate curveball. 

[Tony-OH]

Good lord, how slow is Santander now? How does he not beat that out. The SS did everything but kick the ball and still got him out at 2B.
