I really like Foutch. Scary thing for opposing teams is he may be our 8th/9th best pitcher.

Always like to give credit where due. Nice play in center.

McLaughlin is an extremely good defensive first baseman and it's been a boost to our fielding percentage.

Seems like once a game he saves a potential error with a swipe tag when a throw has taken him off the bag.
