Big mistake by Loperfido there

Shouldn’t have pulled Davis

Loperfido still makes too many mental errors for me. A ball hit that hard gotta go to 2nd to keep him to a long single.

When someone hits a homer they can tell exactly how many feet the ball went, and trace the ball path.

Could they not have done that and SHOWN it would have gone out...or NOT out.

Yeah I’ve seen enough of Eric Lauer for the season

Put Fluharty on the playoff roster

Barger is way better at 3rd id even say his defense is good over there

Barger should have been at 3B all season

Barger really should have been playing 3B all season. He's really solid there and the bat plays better there. Hopefully that's the plan moving forward. His metrics in RF are not good (besides his arm).

LMAO! What an awful throw to second after that botched infield fly. Good to see Vladdy hustling, I thought he was gonna be DOA

+2 DRS at 3B this year, -4 in the OF

It’s the obvious move next year. Probably looking at a Barger/Gimenez/Clement/Vlad infield

Yarborough is in now. If they keep him in they might just hang on

Bednar might have to pitch tonight, not a chance they wanted that

Defense with this lineup is pretty ridiculous only 1 weak defender (Loperfido). Good - elite players everywhere else especially at C/SS/CF
