You’ve been warned.I’m Levi Weaver — welcome to The Windup!Drama: Devers eludes Tingler butt patI’m sorry to lead with that subhed, but…You have to take those unique phrase opportunities when you see them.Anyway, if you’ve been on the internet in the last 24 hours, you’ve probably seen it: The Giants were trailing the Marlins by a run in the ninth inning yesterday, hoping to avoid a sweep. With no outs, Rafael Devers drew a walk, and it was — even for a rookie manager who we had all hoped would give us some fun shenanigans this year — time to call in the pinch runner.It couldn’t have been a more obvious move. Devers is in the 22nd percentile in sprint speed, and rookie Jonah Cox is in the 89th percentile. Bruce Bochy would have made the move. Your Little League coach who still isn’t sure how the infield fly rule works would have made the move. You would have made the move (unless you’re Rafael Devers reading this).But Devers didn’t want to come out of the game. He finger-wagged, he shooed Cox …… and when the move was made anyway, he expressed his frustration by scratching his forehead with his helmet and pulling off a liquid-hipped avoidance of a good-game butt slap by Giants bench coach Jayce Tingler.Is it a bad look? Sure. It doesn’t reflect well on anyone. Not Devers, who looks like a bad team player. Not Vitello, who looks like he doesn’t have command of his clubhouse. And not Tingler, who didn’t do anything wrong, but was still left hanging on a butt pat, and that has to feel uncomfortable and weird.I also couldn’t help but pause and think back to last October, when Max Scherzer pulled a similar move. In fact, Scherzer was way more demonstrative, screaming at Blue Jays manager John Schneider in Game 4 of the ALCS.So … what’s the difference?Well, for one, Game 4 of the ALCS means the team is a winning one. The vibes are good. The Giants, who went on to lose yesterday, are now 31-46, and the vibes are wretched.Secondly, the answer to the SAT question “Scherzer : pitching :: Devers : _____” is decidedly not “sprint speed.”I can’t shake the comparison, though I’m not sure it’s quite as easy of one as we’re all making it. After all, Vitello’s interpretation was that Devers wanted to stay in the game because he’s competitive (whether you’re buying that or not).More unique phrases: Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s pain was “a million” after groin strike, will continue not wearing a cup.Middle Relief: Who might trade for Skubal?Today, we have an excerpt from Ken Rosenthal’s recent notes column: Trying to figure out which teams are most likely to trade for Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal? Start with the ones in the best position to land a first-round bye.Right now, those teams would be the Dodgers and Braves in the National League, the Yankees and one of the two American League Central leaders, the White Sox or Guardians, in the AL.
