Guardians is a stupid name.

reminds me of the scene from man on fire when Denzel cuts the dudes fingers off and he's getting corrected on his spanish pronunciation of Guardians.  Whar-di-a-nes!.

Forgiveness is between them and God. My job is to set up the meeting.

Speaking of Denzel, I watched Inside Man the other day.

Nice win tonight.

To those who say "It's April" -- well -- some us here remember some terrible Aprils for the Halos - in fact , several years in a row -- where the Halos dug themselves into such a deep hole, then spent the rest of the season trying to climb out of it and never quite got there.

So, yeah, it's April -- no one wins the pennant or even a playoff spot in April -- but then again, you sure can lose a pennant / playoff spot in April.

So - I'll gladly take the Halos 2022 April.  I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.  It's been a number of Aprils since Halos fans could say that, !!

When people say it's only April I don't think they mean to imply it's ok to lose those games but that it's the time to throw some shit at the wall and see what sticks and what needs to disappear forever. I'm glad they sat Iglesias and let Bradley try to close a game. I'm glad they tried different lineup and bullpen combos so later in the summer there's a better idea of what works and what they need to try to upgrade at the deadline. I still hate the bunting but at least the geeks with the spreadsheets will have some data to crunch

Nice job by the pen tonight! 

3 innings, 26 pitches

Throwing strikes is definitely a good thing.

the Astros have lost 5 out of last 6, so they're our typical April...

Should have leaned heavily into the crazy MILB team names and they go with some boring one. Somehow Washington one upped them with an even dumber name in "Commanders"

Should have been Cleveland Rockers and Washington Americans.

I wonder if his catching background helped to shape his knowledge of the strike zone.

So if he hits 3 HRs in a game at home, the crowd gets to throw cowboy hats on the field?

Unfortunately, no. They mentioned your article about Rendon and his hip injury.
