This guy's fastball is nasty. Smooth delivery, jumps out of his hand, gets on you quick with some movement.

Patino is the real deal. I bet his spin rate approaches Koji's without looking it up, but adds another 10 mph on top. i don't know. you guys know more about these players than I, but he seems like a 1 trick pony in this game. I can't see a guy lasting in the league without better breaking stuff. Just my opinion.

Not a good series for elevated pitch counts with our starters. Pivetta needs to be more efficient A trade to the Yankees would fix that instantly.

Bobby makes it look easy. So here is my secret plan. Casas to 1B. Bobby to 3B. Raffy to DH. There's no way that Dalbec is better at 3B than Devers. Way. Devers Has made more errors than any other 3B in MLB. And he has been doing that since he arrived. How many years are we supposed to wait for him to become an average defender? Not sure that Bobby would be any better overall, but he is not likely to be a lot worse. But, whatever. If Bobby continues to hit, he gets a place on my team. 1B, 3B, LF or DH.

You get what you deserve when you put a guy in scoring position without making them put the ball in play

That’s not going to improve if you move him across the diamond, it will probably double.

Pivetta could have danced around a bit more to Meadows. 2-1 and dude tries to pass a fastball with 1B open.

Every above average play negates an error and Devers makes a ton of them.

SSS be damned, it's .950 for Devers fielding percentage wise at 3B, .923 for Dalbec...

TB had a runner on third and two out and I guaranteed to my buddy that he would score, which he did.
BOS just had first and third with two outs and who here truly believed that they would get a run home?

I mean it sucks when things aren't going well and half the team is on COVID IL, especially when the Rays are playing like .800 baseball for a few months. But things can and have and will be different.
