Does the org just see Rafaela as a utility guy? The refusal to play him in CF is a bit perplexing to me. If they want to get Abreu time in CF that’s one thing, but playing Refsnyder out there over him is just strange. Pretty sure they know how he looks in the OF. They need to see what he can do in the IF. Aren’t they trying to win games not just see who Rafaela plays in various positions. If that’s the case, they should be playing him everyday over Duvall.

Duvall has a fetish for staring at fastballs right down the middle

Well, at least this series is over. Often this year we've made bad pitchers look good. In this series we made some great pitchers look great.

I've never felt for pretty much the entire season that Devers is the hitter I want up in the clutch spot. He's rarely failed to disappoint. For how much Devers is being paid, he has been severely disappointing this season,

Fairbanks is filthy for sure, but he throws strikes. Just look fastball or breaking ball, don't care which and swing. Guessing won't work.

We looked like a little league team up against a 6’2” 210 lb pitcher who is totally still 12 years old. Overpowered and utterly helpless.

So when we are finally eliminated - you all going to keep showing up here? Or will it be like Tampa?

i may be in minority, but I don't want to re-up Duvall. He’s nice as a bottom of the order bat who plays good corner outfield defense. .233/.293/.475 career hitter. All of nothing at the plate.

Season in a nut shell. Inability to win games they need to win.

Three years of Pivetta giving up 4.5 runs per game - we know Nick Pivetta. This is what he is.

And we were good against the top teams - until we weren't. 4-9 against Houston, LA and Tampa the last few weeks.

Is Cora okay? In the postgame press conference he kept talking about how good the team played tonight.

Pivetta just said how well the team played - not only tonight, but last night - talked about how the defense is playing well, the batters are grinding. Both he and Cora were definitely speaking to the team, not we the audience. Weird.

MFY on the verge of winning - 2 games will separate them if this holds. So 2 not very good teams playing to stay out of the east basement.
