Are we actually starting on time?

Must not be here for baseball either. Because that isn't what we're playing.

Were they considering a change because of the heat?

Actually, no. Blue skies outside as we speak. At least to the north.

…and looking at the radar, looks like I was too far north to get any of the storms. Looks like the coast is clear for the game.

Not sure about that; we could talk about upside. Having said that, Duncan is so cheap that you could keep him instead of Hafner and not really think about the cost.

Think he’s an everything hitter.

Doesn’t “fastball hitter” mainly mean “doesn’t hit the curve very well?”

Mostly, but it also means he comes up lookin’ for the heater and adjusting to the off-speed stuff.
