Alfonso Rivas got a chance to start tonight, and he’s certainly making his presence known.
After walking and kinda-sorta stealing home earlier, Rivas just made his catch in short right:

That is so hard to track and pull off – Anthony Rizzo used to make it look easy – and Rivas gets it done. Did you see Seiya Suzuki’s face? Kinda hard to see, but it said it all: “oh shit! what a catch!” That’s how I read his face, anyway …
