Hope isn't a strategy
Not that it truly matters what order they pitch in (IMO), why are they deciding this now?

What the HECK has Volquez done to deserve the OD nod over Arroyo, or with him not liking day games and what not, Cueto???? How'd that work out in the DS, huh??

This organization is trying SO hard to make this guy a headliner to justify trading away an MVP that it's not even funny. There's at least 2 to maybe 3 guys I would rather have on the mound in a big game than EV. Maybe soon 4.
2009 Attendance Record: 3-5 2010 Attendance Record: 2-9 2015 Attendance Record: 2-0
2011 Attendance Record: 3-4 2012 Attendance Record: 3-4
2013 Attendance Record: 5-2 2014 Attendance Record: 3-1
That is such a drastic exagerration with zero evidence to back it up that it's not even funny.
Please note that the GM that is currently running this team did NOT make the Volquez trade. This trade has absolutely nothing to do with that trade.
Agreed. Good grief.
I guess they're also trying to justify the Willy Mo Pena trade by starting Arroyo for game 2?

What a bunch of bull. Just everything Dusty says in that column. Ugh. I know it doesn't matter in the long run... but this is ridiculous.

I don't think it's ridiculous at all. I think it's wise to break up Volquez and Cueto. Obviously rotation changes occur pretty soon during the season but it sets up as Volquez, Arroyo, Cueto, Wood, Bailey. So that's hard, soft, hard, soft lefty, hard.

-Walt Whitman
On the money!
I like the decision to start Volquez. I was expecting it would be Arroyo but was hoping Volquez or Cueto would get the nod.
In the past Arroyo has said that he doesn't like to start on Opening Day. Therefore Volquez is as good a choice as any I suppose
Yeah. Not a big deal. It's not like it's the first game of the playoffs or anything.
I'm sure someone will come in with the obligatory "He's going to go against the other teams #1s all year now."
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
Volquez is a bit older than Cueto who has had problems keeping his emotions in check. Arroyo likes to party the night before OD.
I have zero problem with this. Good choice.
Dubito Ergo Cogito Ergo Sum.
Similar feelings. I'm less of a fan of Volquez as some others but I won't lose sleep over this.
