~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let's get us another win today, pitchers news worth noting here.....

Santiago comes in with the disadvantage of not making a start in 13 days after he was skipped over during the last turn of the rotation. He only pitched out of the bullpen once in the interim -- a one-out appearance on Sunday -- but insists he has no issue with the extra rest.

"I've done it a bunch of times. I'm used to it," Santiago said.

Opposite Santiago, the Royals will turn to rookie righty Yordano Ventura, who has gone 3-1 with a 2.67 ERA across his last four starts.

Ventura's last outing against the Mariners was another impressive one -- a seven-inning, two-run affair that saw him register six strikeouts -- but he wound up taking the tough-luck loss on a go-ahead solo shot from Mike Zunino in the seventh inning.

I'd give them Aaron Crow but only if they agreed to eat most of the 144m owed to Trout. And possibly throw in one of their top prospects.

I'd give them Moose, Hosmer, Holland, Shields, Zimmer, our entire AA squad, and Ned Yost. Throw in Dale Sveum if needed.

Chen is such a turd.
