He hasn’t looked right for weeks (if not months). As others have speculated before, I suspect Verdugo is playing through an injury. Same with Bogaerts. I think this is true, but it also raises the question of whether or not he can stay healthy. He’s never played 130 games, missed lots of time his last season with the Dodgers. Also more irritating that they didn't get a replacement 1B. They could easily IL Verdugo when Schwarber gets back to give him a breather if he's playing through something.

Franchy with a little inside out single. Love it.

Or maybe he's the 1B of the near future!

I swear, no one's swing reminds me more of Papi's than Cordero's. Now all he has to do is....

Reports of the Tigers having the pitching advantage might have been exaggerated.

Don’t see splitters like that in AAA

I get that the jump from AAA to MLB is hard, but Duran shouldn't go from over 1.000 OPS to. 464. Come on kid.

If you were a poster clamoring for Duran to get promoted, like 3 months ago, stand up and be counted. He’s having a tough adjustment to the show.

If you were a poster clamoring for Duran to get promoted, like 3 months ago, stand up and be counted. He’s having a tough adjustment to the show. For sure. Time to send him down to Worcester to get right. You need a burner like that on your playoff roster (see Roberts, Dave).

Richards is back to the sheepish version of the Meatballs protagonist. Let's hope he bounces back to win the big race in the end.

It was a 357 foot home run. I'd be happy for Richards to limit Cabrera to 357 foot fly balls.

Why is Duran cut so much slack when fans were absolutely brutal on Franchy and Santana from the get-go? Not to say I want people to beat up on Duran the way they do Cordero and Santana. I'd like to see everyone get nice treatment.

Need to ride him out though. I really would like that, but playing merely decent CF and hitting like this during a pennant chase? Ehh.

Franchy is/was a project. Duran is a top prospect getting his first taste at the majors. These two are not the same.

I wish they called him up sooner when the rest of the lineup was really hitting. I'm hoping he can find his adjustment, and quick.
