With Vaughn playing fine LF defense, they shouldn’t even consider playing Eloy in the field. His bat is way more important than seeing him out there defensively.

What happens during the World Series?

I think the metrics have Vaughn slightly below average but that's no different than Eloy. Eloy has much better range than Vaughn does though. 

I think if Eloy had the ability to quit hurting himself and teammates playing the field I'd rather have him out there, but idk if that will ever be the case. 

UZR has him as a positive defender. He's so much better than Eloy out there and he's not gonna hurt himself by being an idiot.

Vaughn probably felt he had to swing at that outside fastball after that terrible 2-0 strike call. Thanks ump.

Yep

He Gone 

Seems we haven’t seen a lot of that from Crochet

Just my opinion but if he can get the command down I think Crochet will be fine at 95-98. That's still major gas from a LHP.

No shit

Crochet throwing his fastball about the same speed as Ryan Burr. That's...not good.

We can’t DH Eloy all the time if we think there is any chance he might needed in LF.  I’m all for DHing him most days, but he’ll need to get the occasional start in the field.

Nice throw TA

nice play TA

Great play by Tim

I agree he should play out there sometimes. But there's no way he should be the regular LFer or even a platoon option out there if Vaughn keeps developing this well at the plate.

100% agree with that.  Vaughn is hands down the better fielder and should get the bulk of the starts out there.

Nasty stuff to Santander

Nice throw by Tim! On the back hand and the ball was hit hard. Wasn't an easy play.

His fastball is fine. It’s all about developing the secondary stuff with Crochet

Great inning from Crochet. 

123 8th for Crochet

Quit waiting for him to throw 100 again it's not coming back. He's going to top out at 98-99 and that's fine. 

Biggest thing for Crochet next spring is to find a changeup grip that actually gets it in the 86-88 mph range during games.

Seby has been doing very well with this pitching staff, kudos to him
