Miles Mikolas, of course. — Joe Sheehan (@joe_sheehan) April 2, 2018 While Miles Mikolas really isn’t going to be Shohei Ohtani, he did a fair imitation on Monday afternoon. Going into the top [...]

Now I know how some people that saw The Last Jedi felt. At least [...]
It’s apropos that Citi Field is located in Flushing, because Carlos Martinez just dropped a deuce there on Opening Day. His underwhelming performance combined with the team’s “swinging-at-air” offensive approach made game 1 of the 2018 season feel more like game 163 of the 2017 season. Same dookie, different season.
