    I was there yesterday. I was surprised he didn’t smash things after he got the golden sombrero.

    Great series. Just utter domination. I can’t believe it’s a 13.5 gm lead this early in the season. Even crazier that they were in a mostly team wide slump for so long. I feel like the turds from the Bronx are going to slow down at some point. Though I’m not sure that matters as we own all of the real estate in the 5 Burroughs.

    Good. No reason to not save JV more and get Odorizzi back in there to see if he’s the version that was so good before the injury. Could be excellent trade bait…though I’m not sure what we even need right now.

    The pitching continues to be dominant and historic, by the way.

    Great starting pitching can cover up a suspect bullpen.

    Other than that, this team looks like the class of the AL (again).

    I'm disappointed they didn't have a custom graphic for 20 strikeouts. You'd think the team with 14 no hitters in 60 years would be ready for pitching excellence of all sorts.

    I will gladly eat crow today about Pena batting 2nd.

    I still think he should hit 6th or 7th but clearly that wasn’t the case today. He was amazing.

    And don't forget manager. Is trading for a manager still a thing?
