Baseball is a weird sport. Due to the randomness of a single game, it requires a 162-game season to determine which teams make the postseason. The best teams lose at least 50 games, sometimes even more. This is all to say that you can’t judge a team based on a single game.
You can, however, sometimes tell a game will get weird before it even begins. Tonight was one of those nights. Before a single pitch was thrown, I felt like I was in a weird dream. Hello Kitty was walking on the field for seemingly no reason other than it was Hello Kitty theme night.
