Victor Robles was a sneaky key piece in today's game -- with two diving catches that Dan Wilson said were the types that "breaks the back of the other team."
Per Statcast, the first had a catch probability of 10% and the second was 20%.
"He'd do all the things that cause a fan in the stands to say, 'That kid is horseshit.' And what do he know? What do that fan know? He don't know nuthin! But he'd be right about Justice. That kid was horseshit."
How is Ron Washington, time and time again, able to help his infielders make significant strides on defense?
A few weeks ago, I worked with Wash to find out.
And yeah, it was incredibly hard.

Oh, that one brawl between the Seattle Mariners and Angels.
Jesse Winker was ready to fight the second he got pegged.
Best part is the fight re-starting after a one-minute break 🤣
As members of our community mourn the killing of Kai Sorem by Philippine forces, the U.S. government must ensure a credible and independent investigation is conducted. I await the initial report from the Philippine Commission on Human Rights and will work to ensure there is accountability for any wrongdoing.
Many #Mariners fans, myself included, are frustrated with how the OF/DH platoons have been going for the club. This morning, I decided to whip up some visual aids for the topic.
The big picture problem is simple, Rob Refsnyder has been a worse bat against LHP this year than either Canzone or Raley have been in their career totals, which has made a complete LHP black hole in the lineup. This has also caused other teams to put in lefties ASAP to take Raley and Canzone out of the equation for later innings.
The smaller and more interesting conversation is WHY Rob Refsnyder is struggling so much this season. The process in acquiring Refsnyder was pretty sound, as can be seen in the second graphic.
The other questions that arise from this: when is enough, and what is the solution?
