Matt Barnes Might Have Lost His Fastball, But Drinkwater Hasn’t

Death, taxes, Drinkwater leaving the second he knows the game is over - good, bad or otherwise. Travis Shaw hadn’t even considered swinging yet and Drinkwater knew this was gone. I’m trying to think of literally anything like it in sports and I can’t. Foul ball back to the backstop? The man doesn’t flinch. Fly ball to the warning track that the rest of the stadium thinks is gone? Those Drinkwater cheeks aren’t flinching from his seat. Walkoff grandslam in extra innings for a team that needed a win more than fish need water? Already in his car on the way home before the ball lands. If anything is going to turn this team around, it’s Drinkwater.
