Old school bust it down the line and big turn on a base hit by Reyes. Love to see it.

Devers made his MLB debut in 2017 at 20. Duran transformed his defense in basically the last year. Duran is *a month older* than Devers. Raffy has it in him Transformed it into what, exactly? 62 percentile OAA, 96 Jump, 64 arm strength. Even by the eye test he’s a markedly better defender, even if he makes an error or loses a fly ball still.

Duran's also super fit, Devers' body is heading in the wrong direction *heading = been there for awhile & aint leavin' no time soon.

Ragans looks like he has real potential. Royals getting him for Chapman is a beautiful (near) deadline move.

He was a -5.6 last time through.

Reyes does not want to be DFA’d A mgr has to love that energy (plus, he can pitch in a pinch).

Reyes doing his Duran impersonation leads to a run.
Lead off man reaches and scores + RISP less than 2 out scores +

Urias has looked shockingly shaky over there at 2B

Just average ducking defense is too much to ask for?

Reyes does not want to be DFA’d A mgr has to love that energy (plus, he can pitch in a pinch). The more time goes on, the more I'm hoping he stays over Chang. I like Chang a lot and the walk-up song is legendary, but Reyes' approach seems to suit the team better, and I'm more comfortable sacrificing a little defense for some bat when fewer SS innings are available.
Edit: Reyes has a 14% K rate and a 7% BB rate. Chang's at 30% K and 3% BB.

Reyes is playing to stay (I do love Yu though). Urias needs to practice his glove to throw transfer, looks worse than a middle schooler at that…

I'd like DOB to keep jinxing Fermín by telling us about his hot streak every time he steps to the plate.

Ragans is nasty tonight. Very happy we're on the board because that might be all we get until he tires out.

this pitcher throws with intent, to get hitters out and make them look foolish.

We are awful defensively and that has to change.

Looks safe, but deserves to be out for stupidity.
