Little apprehensive about this opening game. The Braves are right behind us, breathing on our necks. Our guys have to be tired after that disappointing loss yesterday despite coming back from a huge deficit. And Detwiler hasn't shown he can necessarily last more than about 5 innings. Our bullpen got a workout in the Rockies' series although Clippard should be ready . Another factor is the heat - very high temperatures are expected. The good news is for games two and three we have Strasburg and Gio.
The big question - has our offense improved or was that a fluke in the Colorado air?
