    Wow. Poor man's Billy Spiers played that just like he would at SS.

    Can't believe Mattingly did not challenge.

    McCullers is fooling nobody except Castro.

    Crawford disagrees.

    Castro not on his game defensively today.

    you thought he got into 2nd? Angle I saw on TBS seemed straightforward out.

    Dodgers are swinging quite a bit on the first and second pitch

    Nice to hear the TBS crew talking up the ballpark quirks in MMP. I'll miss them. I dread the place turning offense-centric.

    Focus on groundball pitchers, but that limits your prospective talent pool a bit.

    Dodgers getting the best swings this series against McCullers. Still probably should be scoreless if not for Castro letting a pitch get away.

    Yeah. I've grown to appreciate the short porch with the big outfield. I think it's part of what has created something of a true home field advantage.


    Gomez is flashing some nice leather this game.

    Why does Castro always argue when he gets struck out

    OF won't be "that" much smaller... although I thought CF was going to be 416 (and on the TBS broadcast they said it will be 409).

    Still don't like tinkering... because much like plastic surgery (and the Astrodome), they may not know when to stop.

    Altuve gets picked off like that too much.

    He has been caught stealing 11 times (leads AL), picked off 6 times (leads AL), and out trying to take an extra base 15 times (leads ML).

    Altuve is arguably the worst baserunner in MLB.

    When radio broadcast said his 1st inning throw to home was perfect, I wasn't sure I heard right.

    I agree, he's gotta be smarter and more aware.
