I was really surprised to see recent metrics that put us more middle of the pack than near the top in team defense. I would have thought for sure that in order for us to have the record we have, defense would have to be a major part of it.
Plus when you look at our usual lineups — Turang, Ortiz, Pratt, Lara, Mitchell, Chourio, Contreras, you have almost all high end defenders, maybe Chourio is closer to average. It almost doesn’t compute to me. Surely 1st base defense is not bringing us down THAT much,
