Isn't he always cursed to underperform here due to park effects?

I like that he has the highest percent no doubters on the list.

He just changed his approach about a week ago, so it'll be interesting to see what the advanced stats look like before and after.

Statcast seems to like it, so far

This was my thought as well. I don't think that is a stat that will normalize. So long as Fenway is his home park it's going to gobble up would be HR.

True… whereas Acuna got another HR last night that would have been a long line drive out in Fenway, making it almost to the warning track.

Added a little Raffy paper:



Still feels like a bit of an impulse buy / overpay but I've seen so little of the paper parallels priced reasonably that I hit the buy it now on it.

Default Rafael Devers

Devers hit the catwalk at 317’ from home plate and bounced back into the field for a 2B

Can you imagine how deep that HR would have been had it not intersected the catwalk???

I think Devers just retook the MLB lead in XBH (he had been tied with Ohtani coming into tonight)

So he’s tied for 1st in RBI (with Vlad Jr) and stand alone 1st in XBH

Normally hate the medallion cards but I’m a sucker for red parallels so I grabbed this #’d/10 to go in my 2018 WS collection.

Nice to see Devers with two BB tonight… the more selective and patient he gets, the more he’ll get pitches he wants to go for

Default Rafael Devers

Curves down and in seem to be his new kryptonite

I love seeing Devers with more plate discipline and drawing walks… but I’m not liking the lack of authority that he’s making contact with lately
