This is exactly why I get on Rafael Devers. Leading off the 7th, down 1-0, he pops one up and stands at home plate watching it. The ball drops, and if he hustles out of the box, he’s standing on second base. Even Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow called...

I have been critical of Rafael Devers all year, constantly saying he is just not the true difference-maker this front office thinks he is, and today's game against the Brewers gave us the perfect example of it. Bottom of the 5th, two outs, a runner standing on second base with a righty on the mound, an open first base, and a light-hitting Jung Hoo Lee waiting on deck. In a tight, one-run game, if Devers was truly the "feared" superstar the Giants are paying him to be, the Brewers dugout would have immediately held up four fingers. They would have happily put him on first base via an intentional walk rather than risk giving up a long ball, preferring to take their chances with JHL. Instead, Milwaukee didn't blink. They went right after him. In fact, they practically had him struck out on one pitch, but the catcher couldn't hold onto the foul tip. Even though the 12-pitch battle eventually resulted in a walk, the strategy spoke volumes: the Brewers simply do not fear him. If this were a proven elite superstar like Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Juan Soto, Yordan Alvarez, or José Ramírez, they get a free pass to first base 10 times out of 10 in that exact scenario. But opposing teams treat Devers like just another guy in the lineup because he lacks that elite gravity. To prove the point, JHL came up right after the walk and weakly grounded out to end the inning. The video proves exactly what I've been saying all season: the aura just isn't there, and opposing managers know it.

Geraldo Perdomo on asking Shohei Ohtani for a signed bat (Translation by Master Flip) “Ohtani’s my brother. He’s in a league all by himself. Honestly, I was shocked when Vladdy took him deep. And we’re talking about Vladdy! When he’s got runners on base, he’s quick to the plate, you’ve got to have fast timing to keep up. I went 1-for-3 against him this year, and in the game where he pitched, his team ended up losing. We’ve got a trainer who speaks Japanese, and I’ve been picking up some phrases from her. That day, I walked up to him and asked, in Japanese, if he’d sign a bat for me. He understood perfectly and said, “If I win and I get you out, then I’ll sign it.” Well, they lost that game, and I got a hit off him, a single off his curveball. That was honestly the only pitch I could touch from him. Like I said, he’s so quick from the stretch, with men on base, his fastball comes in at 100 mph and paints the black. No chance. It’s tough to time him in those situations. But I caught him in the windup with the bases empty, lined a single, and later came through with a walk off hit. He didn’t sign the bat lol. He clearly said it was conditional on him winning and getting me out, but I know he’ll come through and send it. He’s an All-Star among All-Stars. What he’s doing on the field, no one else is even close. As long as he’s playing at this level, nobody’s touching that MVP award.” 🎥 Ricardo Rodríguez Abriendo Sports
