But you got to remember, the home opener is already an event, like whether Will Warren's starting it or anyone else.

But it adds to the mystique of it.

Cam Schlittler starting the home season.

No, I can see what you're saying.

But you also need to win series.

I know.

And you're also not going to alter your rotation.

Like, think about it.

Cam Schlittler faced the Mariners.

It just didn't work out.

Right, and you're not going to alter your rotation so that for the seventh game of the season, you put your must-watch TV guy out there just because it makes you happy.

What do you mean?

He could have started the third game versus San Francisco in the first game.

It's not like the batting line.

But now he's not facing the Mariners.

And we all admitted those were bigger games, potential tiebreakers, maybe your biggest rival for the number one seed in the American League.

If you think that matters, and I think we all agree that it does, doesn't it behoove them to have one of their best starters pitch in that series?

Okay.

Well, but that's a weird argument.

I don't know, man.
