I like all of those. If they bring the bats like they did in the Tigers series them they’ll be fine.
I’m sure there will be a lot of overreaction to Nova’s start. Good to remember that no matter how good (or bad) it is, it’s just one game.
I share concerns about Hughes’ lack of velocity and unwillingness to pitch inside yesterday, but again it’s just one game.
But with Boston and Tampa Bay winless it was a great weekend to open the season.
