7/5: Open game thread

In a rush today so this will be sparse. The Mariners have done this:

Rollins optioned to Tacoma, Daniel Robertson called up.

This seems like an odd move to me, especially since Daniel Robertson is not very good at baseball, and my hope was that with new management we were going to try and limit that kind of thing. Scott Servais says it's a move designed to help with a LHP like Dallas Kuechel on the hill, to which I rebut with:

Mariners taking early hitting. Hitting coach Edgar Martinez just hit one over the Crawford Boxes. He's 53 years old.

I really want to win this series, and per some napkin calculations if the team is going to do that they must win tonight.

So win, ya future legends.
