…….Tangent, but Bregman is really good at 3B.  Really good at attacking ground balls, charging them or whatever, and for double-plays gets his throws off to 2b so very quickly and accurately too.  In first inning, prior to the balked-in run, Springer hit a soft grounder to 3B that I thought had zero chance for DP.  But Bregman charged in so fast, ball-to-glove-to-hand-to-2B was so quick and smooth, they almost doubled up Springer on a ball that had no business being anything close to a DP.  Obviously he made a good snag in extra innings as well.  But his footwork and sense of balance and timing is really good…

Bregman leads all MLB 3B in Outs Above Average and is second to Chapman in Defensive Runs Saved.
