Berrios and Duffey and Meyer -- The Pitching Staff underwent a bit of an overhaul... a youthening... if you allow me to make up my own word. One 16-inning loss (that we should have won) and we are shoving vets on the disabled list like it's the Sunshine Meadows Nursing Home.

Sano got off to a dreadful start to the season, predictably struggling in his new assignment as a right fielder but also having a disappointing month of April with the bat.
