Game 18 Thread: April 15 vs. Mets, 7p

Shohei Ohtani (1-0, 0.00) vs. Clay Holmes (2-1, 1.50).

It's tax day, but at least it's not luxury tax day, I suppose, for either one of the high-spending teams on the field at Dodger Stadium this evening. But maybe I should be posting this image instead?

Okay, that's better. Celebrating the accomplishments and legacy of the famed Brooklyn Dodger, not to mention the guy who also names the "Robinson Rotunda" in the sterile Citi Field of the visiting team, Jackie Robinson Day is the only day on the schedule where all 30 teams wear the number 42 on their jerseys. I love this tradition, and tonight won't be an exception...although I think my SNLA+ streaming package will thwart me from watching the game live.

The first two games of this series, the Dodgers' starter came out ahead in a pitching duel. Let's see if Ohtani can continue the trend tonight!

Tonight's game is only on ESPN. Boo! I thought they gave up baseball rights and Peacock took over? Oh well.
