Harang looks to be the Openig Day starter. It isn't that big of a deal I guess, but apparently Bronson didn't want to go that day.

Bronson hates day games.

I'll be heading there tomorrow. Excited to see the new park and , really, just get into some warm weather.

I think Bronson would hate to go against the other teams #1 pitcher. He is smart for this thinking as well. Look at the run support Harang has received when he faced the other #1's most of the time. I know a rain out or off day eventually throws of the matchups but #1's do match up quite often when starting the season that way.

Way to go Dusty! He earned his first bonehead move of the season a month before the first game!

Sounds like a blast. I'm jealous. Ballpark is supposed to be great. Weather there is awesome. Nothing like spring baseball.

My first bold prediction of the season. I know its the Cards but if the Reds get him 4 runs we win opening day !

I agree. If he asked out b/c he wanted a night game then he should go game 2.

I think I would have Harang 4th in my rotation. I know it probably doesn't matter, but to me I expect more out of the other 3.
