In nine Postseason games, Durbin batted .276 (8-for-29) with two doubles, one triple, three runs scored, two RBI, and three stolen bases.

He also played in 30 games for Triple-A Nashville, batting .250 (28-for-112) with a .346 on-base percentage, six doubles, and four home runs. Originally signed as an international free agent by the Chicago Cubs in March 2014, the Venezuela native has batted .250 (133-for-533) in 219 career Major League games, all with Milwaukee (2023-25).

The Question (Elephant in the Room?) - How did he get a visa to play for the Ontario/SD Clippers G-League, but can't get entry now? Asking for a friend.

Hey! He’s not as good as Cy Young, either. Cmon now? Vin Scully? Jon Miller?

Spence @SpeeVan

@mlbsf101214 @barstoolsports You really just compared a guy doing his first broadcast ever to two legends.

It would be like saying after a rookie pitcher made his first start, "He's just not as good as Randy Johnson or Clayton Kershaw."

Ridiculous.
