    Dear GOD, not Ort, that is a guaranteed 1 if not 2 HRs in Colorado.

    Is it Abreu or King.

    You know Joe loves him some King.

    Abreu threw 18 pitches last night.

    He might do like last time and save Abreu to be closer tomorrow afternoon.

    I'm fine with that. But bring in Sousa instead.

    Okay I guess you and I have a different definition of “good arms” if you think the 4th and 5th best options in the Rockies pen are good. My point was he doesn’t have set roles and he pitched his better ones against the top of the lineup.

    And yes I’m aware their bullpen isn’t awful.

    So you got Sousa/King/Abreu for tomorrow if all goes as planned tonight.

    Espada going full bullpen flex (with the “b” team that could still be elite):

    Okert - Ort - Sousa

    King - Abreu - Hader

    All your bases belong to us!

    How about we hit a 3 run bomb and then let Weems close it out.

    Fourteen hits produced only five runs? Wow.

    Espada has to get the horses rest, so if this team refuses to participate in blowouts we're gonna have to run the 2nd tier out there.

    Yep, better to do it against the Rockies than potentially the Dodgers.

    I mean are we looking at Sousa in the 9th? Could very well be.

    you would think they have 8 runs by now.
