I heard that too. And I fully agree with the comment about not being well informed. Everything appeared to be right out of the media notes. Apparently, there is also a wind tunnel to right center.

Cervelli is in the lineup tonight batting 3rd, so he is probably fine.

Rodriguez batting 7th in CF

Never realized how good his arm is. That was a crazy-good throw he made from CF.
