opening day


We’ll be facing Cole. Gotta think we’ll be big favorites given how well we play at home.

One silver lining is that if he starts the season shelfed for a few weeks his '25 option won't vest

In all seriousness, he will be needed for October more than anything. Rangers are in worse shape starting pitching wise than Houston even if they re-sign Montgomery. Mariners have an elite staff but still not sold that offense will hunt.

There are six off days between the start of the season and May 6th. That's some relative good news about easing JV along and not overexposing anyone in the bottom half of the rotation. Feel okay about a bounce back nice season for Javi, really looking to see Brown take a step forward think he got gassed and lost it mechanically towards the end there. Hopefully it's nothing and JV can slot in whenever he's ready and go but to everyone's point he is 41 and it's the second year in a row he's dealt with a shoulder so definitely some cause for concern.

I think this JV news all but seals the deal that he will not be Opening Day starter

And honestly, if he takes a little longer to be ready, it should pay dividends come playoff time

This is of course taking for granted he won't join McCullers in the Black Hole
