How fast is Duran? Not asking rhetorically. Is he 80 speed?

Good to get the early lead in case the pending weather shortens this one

I still feel like Duran’s play is an extended acid trip. Who could imagine he’d be this good? This much fun?

He's been awesome for them. Has he been awesome enough to justify having him for 9 more years, eh... He’s been good. But not nearly good enough for what they invested in him. I mean he's exceeded his AAV in value each year so far, last year essentially paid for two seasons, this year he'll probably add surplus too. As far as the mega contracts go his is going as well or better than pretty any of them have.

I think he was considered 70 out of college but he’s bulked up some, I am nowhere near good enough at this to give an accurate grade but I’d say he’s probably 60-65 that looks faster because 1. He hustles like crazy and 2. When you have a build like his and are moving fast you generally look faster.

So in 1st plate appearance DOB mentions Yoshida faced Senga "many times" in Japan -- what are the odds the rest of the game passes with DOB never telling us the results of those PAs?

How fast is Duran? Not asking rhetorically. Is he 80 speed? Someone correct me, but I think of him as a 70 with someone like Elly de La Cruz an 80. He's 96th percentile in sprint speed (de La Cruz is 100th percentile).

In looking up some guys I learned that Acuna Jr. is only 67th in sprint speed despite leading baseball in steals, must get great jumps (and obviously being on base a lot helps).

Has NESN even mentioned the 1.6 billion dollar makeover they are about to do around the stadium? Blows my mind. that's big news.

Pete Alonso has the unsexiest running form in all of sports. It's like he'll fall face first at some point lol

Franchy has homered in two straight for the bad guys. Maybe he's figured things out??

Sengha may not be having a good game tonight but on balance his season has been quite good. Assuming an equivalence in the portability of Japanese pitchers to the MLB, Yamamoto looks to be quite the prize.
