Great stuff as usual, Howard. Starting the season with four in Denver is no easy task, but as you said, I'm grateful for the Ws and the (relative) lack of stress on the pen. Kenley looked sharp. Knebel looked lights out. Others (even Nelson and Price) get a Mulligan for the start to the season because it's just a wacky and taxing place to pitch and not conducive to feeling your way into the rhythm of the season.
Also, if Julio can use his changeup all year like he did on Sunday, my lord...the kid has arrived.
FUN series after a bad start. Weird and wacky with highlights and lowlights galore.
On to Oakland!
