Whipping boy? How many bad defensive plays do you have to see? He has been doing this for years. I don’t even know why your bring up Urias. If he comes in for defense you don’t have to worry about him. Just silly. How many major-league baseball players do you have worry about catching a flyball. Just one and it’s Ryan McKenna. He plays very little, and when he’s in there to do the one thing he was brought up to do he loses focus, drops balls, has horrible routes and can’t throw a guy out from almost 1st base at home. Yeah yeah but he’s a just whipping boy.
