    Wow, Castro has been largely magnificient behind the plate tonight. Reaching up and grabbing wild pitches, blocking balls in the dirt... then that amazing CS.

    The hitting will come around.

    I really like what I've seen out of him. His number one job is what he does behind the plate and he's done very well in that regard for a rookie.

    I'm speechless about CJ. Easily could be 3-for-3 if not for Wright's amazing play.

    He has to come down to Earth some day, right?

    What has me super pumped is his opposite field stroke with authority.

    CJ's made some solid plays as well and there was another.

    Wandy's making Castro work behind the plate. One got away this inning then Castro made another solid block on a ball in the dirt. That might have gotten away from a shorter catcher.

    CJ has been devastating with the bat but it looks like his glove has also improved a bit.

    Clutch!

    This has been one of the most fun games of the year to watch for me. The pitching and defense have been great on both sides.

    Man the "D" has been insane in this game, to bad the crowd isn't larger to help with the atmo.

    Lyon starts out 3-0 to Castillo and ends up retiring the side in order.

    How about a Pence leadoff blast? I'll take a 2B though.

    The league starting to respect CJ, or they think Wallace is an easy out....NY media gonna kill Jerry if Wallace gets a double, cuz Carlos ain't scoring on a single
