Yesterday was probably a bit of an aberration going up against Johnny Holstaff because you're not going to face Johnny Holstaff that often over the course of a season.

But it's good to have a season-high 16 hits under your belt.

It's good to see seven different players with multi-hit games.

It's good to score in six different innings.

So you take the positive and say, hey, we can build upon that.

Also, playing, as we heard from Ian Happ, at room temperature versus playing at a cold, wiggly field –

or a cold Cleveland, that makes a difference too.

I don't expect it to be any earlier because what's the rush?

You've got to take precaution.

Zach Gallin, he decided to stay home because they didn't have the money because they signed Shota Imanaga because of the qualifying offer.

There's a chain reaction.

That's what you think happened.

I think it's pretty plain and clear if they were interested in him.

Gallin had a choice of where he wanted to pitch.

And he didn't get a multi-year deal that he wanted.

So he was like, if I'm just going to take one year, I'll just stay here.

And 6-3-0, the season is not sunk.

So no, the tickets aren't getting cheaper.

Oh, I hope so.

Because like, what?
