So far, statcast doesn't mind Duran's defense. Probably way too early to be meaningful, but he's at +1 OOA with an 88% success rate on an expected 86% success rate. edit - I keep looking through statcast and came across something that might be interesting. Seabold is 22nd and Crawford is 17th out of 585 in whatever "Active Spin" is on their 4 seamer. Active Spin is "Percent of Spin that Contributes to Movement by Release Speed". Whitlock is 25th. baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/active-spin

I'll be pleasantly surprised if he plays well enough the rest of the year to earn the starting CF job next year.

If Duran can lock down being even just the strong side of a platoon OF for next year it'd be a big help and allow them to allocate resources elsewhere. If that's in CF all the better.

If the plan was to put him in RF next year why would we be playing him in CF and Jackie in RF when they play together. Clearly the plan is for him to be the long term CF but everyone here seems to be in some type of denial about it. I don't know why.

Sigh. Xander showing his "range" top 1st. I think most SS would have gobbled up that Ramirez hit.

Seems like one of those occasional Bad Pivetta nights. Oof.

I know that wasn’t a strike but feels like it gets called 85% of the time

Great heads up by Story! Let's hope Nick settles in.

When Duran steps up to the plate they should just start the count 3-2.

Wind blowing out, right to left. One of those games... probably a long night.

Good thing this game isn't in St. Pete. Diaz might have two homers and JD's double would've been caught before the warning track...
