The J.D. Davis experience was on full display last night, as he represented the New York Mets only run, with a solo homer, but made some bad plays at third base.

Also, Francisco Lindor has gotten off to a slow start to the 2021 season, but listen for why there should be no buyer's remorse when it comes to the superstar shortstop.
