Maybe just early season rust. Gotta have some stamina to have likable post all the way to the end of the game. Especially when the game thread is posted early in the morning. But you know what they say, you can't post all day if you don't start in the morning.
Would make more sense anyway. Scheduled doubleheaders on weekends and a later start to the season would also make sense. But MLB and MLBPA will never go for it.
Littell started for the Chattanooga Lookouts yesterday (4/5) with a line of 4.1 IP, 5 Hits, 2 Walks, 2 Runs (2 Earned), and 7 strikeouts. Look(out) for this righty to improve on his start to the 2018 season
