I'm not going through every player, yet that is just wrong. Example Hunter Dozier is -49 DRS since 2018. Bogaerts rank as worst defender per year is 60th, 32, 34 and 35 for 2021 to 2018. He's never been close to top ten worst in a single year. That's before you account for games also, like Duran -5 also last year, yet in way fewer games or Travis Shaw at -3 in a very limited sample size. You can sort on Fangraphs and find the full list, in cumulative DRS since 2018 Xander is 11th worst (once you remove innings qualifiers), or 7th worst excluding catchers. You're right about the sample size thing in that most guys who are worse than he is defensively don't get the innings played to rack up so many negative plays. UZR has him much better overall, but that's despite his range, which UZR also has as third worst (cumulatively) among shortstops since 2018. UZR just also gives him a lot of credit for avoiding errors, which the other stats don't value as highly. As a broader point, since the start of 2019 the Red Sox gap between their ERA and their FIP is the biggest in baseball, in the wrong direction (the Dodgers actually have a bigger gap in that their ERA massively outperforms their FIP). It's obviously not just Xander, and there are plenty of other ways to do it, but improving the team defense should be a big priority. UZR throws out every play that is in the shift. From what I gather most people completely ignoring that metric at this point (and fWAR for position players as a result of that).

Cellucci's fastball averaged 93.4 mph with a max of 94.7 on statcast today. Averaged 2375 spin.
His slider was 83.3, 2497.
He got 5 whiffs on 11 swings but his pitch chart looked like something out of the Darwinzon collection.
0.2 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 1 K, 2 ER. Hit was a 90 mph exit velocity fly ball double down the line.
Casas had a couple of Ks and a walk, plus a groundout and lineout to center.

All day they listed Scottsdale as a statcast park... but they just changed it, so that sucks.

Dalbec went 3-44, 068/128/205, against RHP 95+ mph fastballs.
Question I was thinking this morning... if JD is out... Casas MLB debut until Cole is pulled?
Alas, JD should be a-ok. (hopefully)

I love Raffy but he looks like he is on a collision course with being a mostly full time DH. IMO he is in a league with David Ortiz as a hitter. However I dont believe he is nearly as clutch as Big Pappi. I feel like he pads his stats against teams like the Orioles. Problem is that if you dont pay him, another team will. On top of that I think the NL will go to the DH in the not too distant future. That would really open the market options for Raffy. Devers hit .311/.373/.511 in the playoffs with 14 RBI in 15 games against the Astros and Dodgers. In his regular season career, in high leverage at-bats against the Astros, Yankees and Rays he has hit .343/.395/.400. I think literally every stud in MLB history padded their stats against the shit teams.

Personally I’ve stopped looking to MiLB pitchers ERA for a few years now, all I care about is strikeouts and walks meaning Do they have good stuff? And can they control/command it? Yes. Also Portland may have had the most pathetic defensive team in minor league baseball history this year. ERA is more than meaningless for those guys.

Kiké has to do better. Didn't advance the runners. Sets up another squander. That was Verdugo's fault

Maybe it was just a pitch horribly outside the zone, but without looking at the Gameday I'm not only giving him props for getting a hit after that at bat but having the stones to take a ball after 12 straight fouls. if i recall correctly, shin high down and away
