IIRC they've gone to the 5th starter in similar situations with an off day before the home opener. With it being so early in the year I can see them giving the 4 starters the extra day off.
I did think of that but then came back to how all he has to do is job when JD, JB, EE and Tulo hit HRs. Martin likely is going to get a few extra days off this year anyway. Likely won't catch any Dickey starts or day after night games.
Yeah if he didn't add the 3 pointer to his game he would be completely useless. Even as is he is not good and I think come playoff time the lack of depth at the 4 will haunt them.
Going from most confident to least
Dodgers over 87
Diamondbacks under 84.5
Royals under 87
Rays over 78
Angels under 82.5
Cubs over 89
Astros over 85.5
Giants under 90
Brewers under 71.5
Orioles under 80.5
Padres under 74
Marlins under 80.5
If I didn't work all weekend I would have made the trip down. What did you get autographed? For the autograph guys its probably better its cold, less people.
Funny that Toronto is having its coldest weekend of the year during the ASB. So much for the Raptors showing off how great the city is when its -30 lol.
My guess is every weekend game is a sellout or if not close to it. Weekday games will be around 25-30K. If they contend I can see them getting 35-40 for the games during the week in the summer.
That is the reason corporations should not be owners in sports. Think I heard someone say MLB hates that Rogers is the Blue Jays owner and there will never be corporate owner again.
Be interesting to hear what JD's camp was pushing for on a long term deal. His agent Lorenzo apparently is one of the most hated agents in the industry.
