The original purpose of that cheese cleaver was none of those things, but given that we don't cleave cheese a lot in our house, we found other uses for it that made sense for us.
To be fair, this ultimately isn't that awful. Riley has been about middle of the pack defensively in terms of starting third basemen for several years now, and he's come a long way from the days where his first throw of the game was ... an adventure, shall we say.
The first thing we need to think about is the Atlanta Braves' current roster situation. At third base, the team has Austin Riley, who is probably one of the top five-ish third basemen in the game.
Defensive metrics are notoriously tricksy from one year to another, but this seems fairly clear. Whoever this is, they aren't very good at their position.
