Liam is our favorite Castellanos but Nick is a close second. Pottymouth is rightfully preening over her pre-season pick of Corbin Carroll. Patti calls early dibs on
Evan Carter for next season. There was so much more going on in that 15 pitch at bat between

lead-off hitter Schwarber,
Nats North, sneaky good hitting, and very specific heckling. And Liam. In the world outside the playoffs, the Giants interviewed Alyssa Nakken, the first woman to be an official candidate for an MLB manager position.
