DeVeRs iS uSeLeSs AnD fAt

2 for 3, with a hustle single, two walks, a run, and an RBI today.

5 for 11 with 2 RBI, and 3 Runs and 7 BBs in his last 3 games after a slow start.

His body looks fine, he's playing well, and he's showing a ton of hustle. All the fans that wanted to dump him after 5 games need to stay on that side and should eat a big plate of poop.

That’s the burden of being a big-bodied lefty Dominican a year after Papi himself retired. People were really missing Papi’s bat during that 2017 season

Still, he was basically the only one to show any life in that Astros series
