    It's not a matter of can he...it's a matter of should he. The guy has been a shell of himself for a while now. You could start him, but you'd have to have a super short leash on him.

    In an article on The Athletic is said he's no longer stretched out to be a starter but probably could be used as an opener or something.

    Right field seats. You won't see the big video board from there but they're good. My preference is 300/400 level seats close to home plate or down the 3rd base line because you get a nice birds eye view of the field and can see the plays developing and the video board is in your line of site.

    yeah, I should have those 300 seats. I was in a hurry because some of the tickets I was buying were bought as I had them in my cart. I wanted the Crawford boxes but felt like they were way to marked up.

    Not very optimistic. Maybe not far off though.

    Both offenses can mash. It will come down to which teams pitching can slow the other down more and who makes the clutch defensive plays.

    I discovered during my last visit to MM that I have no business trying to watch a game there. I could hear, but could not see anything. Not because of the line of sight, but strictly bad eyesight.

    So the best seat for me is my recliner watching my big screen and letting the cameramen figure out where the ball is going for me. As an added benefit, the price of snacks and drinks is WAY less.

    But I do miss TK and Blummer in the Post Season.

    It's NOT $30M. Arizona sent $ to lower the Price to the Astros. (something to keep in mind when talking about Long contracts)

    But I would trust him for a few innings, whether it's as an opener, primary, or high leverage situation based on experience. It won't take long to see if he has his command of the edges and if the HPU is giving him the edges or not. His style is now dependent on Good Umpiring and we faced some BUMS.

    I 'm generally waking up about the time they are ending. Prime sleep for me is 7PM-12. I wish I could figure out how to reset my sleep clock to 1-6AM.

    When you're young, it's about a desire to sleep. At my age it's a compulsion that hit's suddenly and you have about three minutes to decide where you sleep.
