Game Thread: 4.26 A'ss @ the Rodominator

Castro is filthy. 2 completely different curveballs and a 4-seamer that tails into right handed hitters at mid 90s. He is GOOD

Why did he start in the minors this season? (Of course, to be fair, the bullpen has looked really good, so the decision was not easy).

I got no prob keeping him on the shelf. Our pen is incredible, and keeping him a secret to be busted out later in the season is a huge asset.

And the doggies go down! At this moment we are tied for 1st.

First place!

This division is killing it right now except Arizona. Even Colorado might be ok.

It must also be noted, the Creamsicle Special unis, they fucking work

They really are hard to look at...but don't GAF because they work and that's the American way cotdammit

I'm dubious about the Rox. The top three teams are legit and the Snakes are trash though.

talked about that at the park with several fans. We all agreed that we did not like them when introduced but they have grown on us.

I really do look at those City Connect unis and think "creamsicle."

And really, who doesn't like creamsicles?

Not saying it's them but every year some team or two does much better than projected (it was us last year). So maybe they surprise but yeah the top 3 are better. Best division in baseball, maybe tied with AL East

I don't think there's any doubt its the best division. I wonder how the Rox will look once they start playing a division heavy schedule. A lot of games vs the dogs/fraudres and us can make for an ugly record.

One last thought on last nights game:

couldn't have been more than 18k fans there. It was, as we say in the Yay, HELLA EMPTY.

Toronto Tampa NYY are a comparable top 3 (Dodgers probably best record in baseball this year though), then Red Sox and Rockies are comps, then Orioles and Dbacks suck

The Mets may be legit. 14-5 connotes more than a statistical quirk. And, oh yes, they took 3/4 from us.

No doubt but I was just comparing ALE and NLW divisions. Mets and Dodgers are likely best teams in NL with possibly us and San Diego right behind
