According to fangraphs, Devers has cost the team 50 runs over his career, including 6, so far this year.
To me, his D has lost us at least 2 wins. Kike's D at SS 3-4 min. Casas at 1B? Hard to tell, but I think more than 1 game. That's 6-8 from just 3 positions- enough to put us in the driver's seat for the WC2 or WC3 slots.
Sure, their O has more than made up for their D (except Kike,) but let's not sugar coat how bad our D has been.
The last 2 games were astonishingly bad. There were so many plays that should have been made, but were not called errors, that are total morale deflation plays.
Our pitchers are being asked to get 4-6 outs several times a game. It's just too taxing on them and the rest of the team.
