The post All-Star Break rotation was set up with some input from Roy, who wants to set the franchise wins record at home, so he'll pitch at Pittsburgh and, provided he wins, have two chances - against Cincinnati and Milwaukee - to break the record at home.
"I thought it'd be special to do it at home. I told Brad that if I could do it at home, it would mean a lot more. The fans have been behind me for 10 years. If I could somehow win a road game here, then I go back home and have two more chances."
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
