Way to read the spoiler.

And since Castro has the higher average, I determined that to be sarcasm. then he said Castro was better (still talking about average only right?), like you said, but then said he was kidding.

But Castro has the higher average.

I think waldo's stupid posts earlier are making me more stupid, sorry.

I didn't exactly say it was not a true hitter parks. But, in some ways I did. I just contradict myself, oh well...lol. I'm just saying the field is smaller and the gaps are smaller and players get robbed of hits because of that reason.

As you can see, HR is exactly neutral. Meaning that it doesn't help out HR hitters at all. The wind and small park cancel each other out. If Castro played there, he probably would have a higher BA. But it wouldn't be that big of a difference. MAYBE 5 hits. Maybe.
no, just better hitters in the AL

I'll just have my 7 year old brother slap next time I get confused. Then I can get my head on straight again and he can insult your posts some more.

Anyway, I think Colorado has a day off.

No they don't, there playing. Do you know it's Friday? Because teams never have schedule off days on Friday. They only have off days because of postponement.

I don't know. I scrolled down the box scores and they weren't listed. Probably because they hadn't started yet, lol. But it was just a few minutes ago.

Not really. I mean, yeah, they do, but it's because of the DH. They only have .004 better OBP and less than .1 runs/game. If the NL had the DH or the AL had the pitcher hit, I am sure that the NL would be better. It's not really a fair comparison.
