8th and 9th (assuming CJ and Frankie are available) are not the ones to worry about.

It's the rest of the bullpen that frightens me.

Long Relief (Rupe) doesn't frighten me, either.. I think the bullpen will be fine, even a positive, as long as the starters do well. But if we start having starting pitching issues and Rupe becomes unavailable, that's when we'll be effed.

I've been to three opening days and they've lost all of them. The two I don't go to, they win. Bahhhh.

I need to see concrete proof that they're only going to use Eddie as a LOOGY before I can feel good about the bullpen. And I really don't think Madrigal is ready.

10 and 11 pitches to retire the side respectively - nice!
