    O.K., really, in all seriousness, this is going to be a fun match-up this afternoon.

    Two relatively young pitchers both in their first year playing in the big leagues.  And, they each do a good job at not allowing base runners.  But, they both have a tendency to allow the long ball – and they will be throwing in a homerun park today.

    I am looking forward to watching this one.
