Kinda sucks that the only trait Jed shares with Theo is the love of bat seeking junkballers.

And Rizzo

If they're that short in the pen at this early point in the season maybe they should consider calling up Wicks to get more length/innings in the pen and maybe send down Pearson or Morgan who appear to have options.  Would be better than waving the white flag (not the white "W" flag) in the 8th inning with a lead and sparing me from gouging my eyes out.

I am not 1000% sure of this, but my understanding is they are not allowed to option pitchers without an IL stint until we're 15 days into the season
