Craig Carton

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.

I think you're not giving Boone enough credit.

Well, maybe if we see Boone tomorrow.

I don't think you're thinking how a manager thinks.

Yeah, I think you put the big picture table together.

And I do think that over the course of a baseball season, there are certain games that matter a little bit more.

I know we're making assumptions because there could be a team that you don't expect to be good that becomes good.

But National League opponents, when you're the New York Yankees, let's be honest, they don't matter as much.

And the feel good matters less.

The feel-good matter is zero.

So let's just play this out.

Tomorrow is not the Marlins.
