Tatis Tatooed

The poetry I'm rattlin is really not for battlin
But if you want I will simply change the program
So when I'm done you will simply say damn...

The reworking of the Rockies bullpen may need some additional reworking (rereworking?) after the Juan Rincon and Franklin Morales' melt down in allowing a grand salami in Queens.

Rincon looked alright over the weekend, but looked like a worn out subway Monday night. Jim Tracy played his cards and went with Rincon, when super youngster Jhoulys Chacin and new setup man Rafeal Betantcourt were both available. It was perplexing, as the Rox bullpen hadn't allowed anything for nearly 10 innings prior to last night.

Morales looked primed to take over the #1 setup role just two weeks ago, but he may be ticketed back to the Springs or to the back of the bully to get himself together.

Tracy also needs to feel out his new bullpen contingent and decide which path to take, however here could be more new additions before Friday's deadline. Hey, Mike Vick is available!

Chacin's heater is 4 MPH slower than Morales.

Honestly, Tatis hit a very good pitch out, sometimes that shit just happens. It was down and outside and Morales made him look silly on the first two strikes.

We'll see what Marquis can do tonight.

^Anon- dont argue with Spot about Morales---that's his dude. Mock Franklin and he will fight you.

8 career GS for Tatis? That's probably more than the Royals over the last 10 years
