JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

And actually, they've been worse at home.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

So I'm not expecting a lot of home runs, a lot of offense.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

But you never know.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

These teams usually have pretty entertaining games at Fenway.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

But it's going to be interesting to see if either of them can get going.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

I bet you Vlad's back is going to feel pretty good with the off day today and then going into a ballpark where he has, I think, an 1,100 OPS for his career.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

Yeah, I think that's a good point that you make, that he is going to wear it rather fairly or unfairly.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

I mean, you go from Devers to Bregman to Caleb Durbin, and that's not necessarily fair of Caleb Durbin.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

He has been better.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

He's actually really, really good defensively, and obviously defense has been a major issue for the Red Sox in years past, and they've been really, really good this year.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

I think they rank maybe first in Fangraph's War in total team defense, so...

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

I think KL Durbin was put almost in an impossible spot to succeed.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

I actually really like his tools.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

As I said, good defensively, not a lot of power, but I do think if he's used properly, he could be an effective utility bench player.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

Obviously, that's not how he was brought in.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

He was brought in and handed the third base job, and

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

Almost with the Rays, I think the Brewers are kind of turning into the Rays where they're the boogeyman in terms of you don't really want to trade with the Brewers at this point.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

And if there's a reason why the Brewers are ready to move off Caleb Durbin and acquire a pitcher like Kyle Harrison, maybe you should be looking internally as to why they want to do that.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Jays Drop Yankees' Series, Prepping for the Red Sox & Misiorowski Mastery

So, yeah, Durbin's not been good, but it also doesn't help that Trevor Story went down and Marcelo Meyer is playing alongside of him and Meyer hasn't hit.

So now they don't really have...
