The A's announcers praised Story right into a K. At least, Franchy hit the ball hard. And finally, whatever WAR the nerds have assigned to Devers, it's too low. He's more dangerous with a bat than the nerds' hero Mike Trout.
The statement that a team is what their record says it is, imho, is not true while the season is in progress. When the season has concluded, then I will agree that statement is true.
Pivetta always had good stuff, but he usually paid for his mistakes. He's decreased the mistakes. I didn't have much confidence that he would put it all altogether, but it appears he's proven me wrong and I'm glad.
I'd keep JBJ in RF, because Franchy against LH starters is no improvement over JBJ offensively. Plus the defense is better with JBJ in the OF. So I'm gonna stick with platooning Franchy and Bobby at 1st.
While looking up Moon's questions on the internet, I found an interesting streak. Freddy Freeman went 35 consecutive AB's without swinging and missing. The streak ended in July 2021.
