1. Can’t wait to watch him pitch and put yesterday behind us.

2. Here we go!!! Looking forward to this game even more than I was before hearing the news!

3. Luck! Hope the team performs today.

4. Excited to see YRod up with the Jays, and optioning Espino was the obvious corresponding move especially given his pitch count from yesterday. Espino is a good guy to have as depth in Buffalo.

   Think this will be a good move for Francis as well. If Rodriguez can go four or five innings and turn it over to Francis that will be less pressure than starting. Have no issues with a tandem fifth starter situation until Rodriguez is fully stretched out.

5. Espino is straight cheeks

6. Well if he doesn’t pitch good today I am going to be in a dark place.

7. I’m excited… but… does he HAVE to wear 29? I know Carter’s jersey is not immortalized… but I feel it should have been.
