Maybe not as an opener. But have a plan to use him in the first high leverage situation in game 3 IF he only throws 24 pitches in Game 1. That would have been the 3rd inning yesterday with the bases loaded. Our bullpen gave up 5 runs. What if Sims got us out of that bases loaded mess like did vs Texas? Might have won the game.
