• Nothing is more disappointed than Feel Like Going Home by Charlie Rich, with the possible exception of Zach Agnos, whose new fastball could transform him into the next Trevor Rogers, which would certainly please Rockies GM Josh Byrnes, who is shopping for someone like Grant Anderson or Johan Oviedo, just in case.


• Reports are that MacKenzie Gore has looked very good coming back from his partially torn ear, and he's as smartalecky as ever.
