Win today and all they have to do is beat the resurgent Eduardo Rodriguez tomorrow for the sweep. Getting ahead of myself a bit here.

Absolutely need 2/3 but 3/3 the Tigers would be a preferable. Controversial statement there, I know.

Game 117
Bello takes the mound with skills quite adroit.
His fastball moves faster than A.J. Foyt.
Teams like the Tigers are here to exploit.
We need to hustle like Hoffman and Voight.
Maul Motor City. Demolish Detroit.

Lol. I almost used that word in a final line but I thought I’d be pushing it with the weird spelling. Nice work.
I mean, that's basically a Major League ready lineup they are trotting out there today. Nice.
Sub in Story for either Reyes or Urias and Wong in there and that’s a deep lineup
Well, rehab-limits and Cora-policies aside, you'd theoretically have Story available to PH in a tight game/favorable spot. (And if that taxes him, you give him another day off later.)
I don't think it's necessarily a "taxes him" issue, so much as he has played the last 4 days between DH and SS, and while he is probably beyond spring training endurance (for lack of a better term) it probably isn't by much. I think it's a well deserved day off, and a good time for it with an extra day he can have off on Monday before the long stretch of games without a day off.
Am I misremembering or does Bello have a much higher ERA in day than in night games? I guess the team has a schedule and they have to stick to it, and besides, they probably want to "cure" him of that.
Edit: Youks just gave the BP depth chart, with Llovera at the bottom. I thought he'd been DFA'd. Am I wrong again?

Great stuff, had great peripherals/performance in the minor leagues, and has struggled to convert that at the big league level. He'll definitely get DFA'd if he doesn't figure it out fast, and with Houck and Whitlock coming back, he'll probably get DFA'd regardless
Good at bat from Devers. Had a decent day yesterday, too, so hopefully he is starting to lock in.
Hope we can keep him, even at a reasonable premium to his production. He seems like a good clubhouse guy that a lot of young guys can learn from. He also may be the only regular on this team who is strong both defensively and at the plate. We just don't have many "complete players."
Edit: this is good -->
