Summary
Baseball’s “opener” strategy is heating up — using a reliever to start the game to save your starter — but it’s backfiring on the bullpen. While pitchers like Erick Fedde look great in short bursts, the real cost? Overworked relievers, double-duty pitching, and rising ERAs. Teams are banking on their “bulk guys” to carry the load, but with guys already stretched thin and some struggling, it’s a risky gamble. Meanwhile, Miguel Vargas’ All-Star nod proves some early hype was spot-on. Game kicks off at 1 PM Central — catch it on Peacock.
