Oh weird, Yovani Gallardo buried the Mariners again after one inning.  Didn’t see that coming.

Between his incompetency and Dan Altavilla’s volatility, the Mariners had another bad day.  Not even the resurgence of Mike Zunino (1 for 4 with a 3-run homer, batting average nearing .250) could stop the bleeding.

I was off watching Tool at the Gorge last night, so I have nothing to say about this one either.  The Mariners have a good offense, but when you’re constantly putting them in a hole early, you’re not doing them any favors.  I don’t care about Bergman’s last start, or Gaviglio’s overall meh-ness; Gallardo needs to fucking go as soon as our other starters start returning from injury.

In Transaction News:  Zac Curtis was sent back to the minors and Rob Whalen was called up.  He went just the two scoreless innings yesterday, so we’ll see if he gets to stay with the Big League ballclub or not.  It’s gotta suck to be Tacoma’s manager and try to fill out a starting rotation.
