Yeah, I mean, just because anyone can come up with one or two of these every time Thomas plays, that can't mean anything.   It certainly can't mean that Andrew Stevenson, a worse centerfielder, shouldn't be out there either.  It also can't mean that Robles is actually a pretty good defender.

this is where Davey, with Abbott at 83 pitches, sends him out for the 7th and he gets lit up.

I stand corrected.

Why is McGee here? Absolute garbage

A double and two K's is garbage? I blame the analytics.
