Made chicken tacos tonight. Felt like living dangerously without an official win yet. 

Chicken breasts marinating in the fridge even as we speak, ready soon for the grill. 

I, too, like to live dangerously.

Polanco says "I don't need no stinking rehab assignment!"

I enjoy crooked numbers.

Alcala should be back very soon so they should have an idea of whether or not he's the guy he was at the end of last year. Definitely don't want Maeda as plan A, but do have hope that he can provide some more reinforcement late. They need to bring in outside guys for sure. I'd like 2, but if Alcala is back in 2 weeks and throwing lights out I'd be ok with just 1. Duran, Jax, and Alcala have the chance to form a very nice back end to the bullpen for years to come, but I definitely want more brought in for this season. I'd like 1 righty and 1 lefty ideally.

I hope you’re right about Alcala. His return as a high-leverage bullpen arm would be huge. I guess in my mind he is about as likely to return healthy and effective as he is to be shut down for the year (I guess I’m a pessimist). The prudent thing to do is acquire one or two bullpen arms from the several non-contenders in MLB. A left hander makes too much sense to not pull the trigger. 
 

The starting rotation has exceeded expectations and might actually have some depth, but they aren’t giving innings, so a deep bullpen is absolutely necessary.

Winder is a great name for a starting pitcher

Better than Bob Walk of the Pirates or Balky McWildpitcherson whose team name currently escapes me.

Team gives you a lead, you come out and pitch a clean inning - good going, Josh,

Novel concept around these parts.

What a lucky bounce for Cleveland

[Vanimal46]

Jeffers is red hot at the plate. All thanks to Nick Nelson’s reverse jinx. 

[Mill1634]

idk, i think he's out but not sure it's conclusive

Sadly Nick Nelson has not reverse jinx'd the bullpen

[h2oface]

Why these guys don't run like hell out of the box is always a mystery. What else to they have to do!!!!!

[rwilfong86]
