We know what we will get from straw and Maldonado at this point. If 1-6 keeps at their current pace and Tucker gets better then it won't matter what the bottom 2 do in the lineup
I think if Straw continues to put the ball in play and more on the ground, as he has been doing these past few games, I think we'll end up getting more out of him than what we currently are. As long as he's on base at least once a game for our 1-2-3 hitters, that'd be a very good thing.

Machete hitting .220 the rest of the way would be back on track. He's in a bad slump. But frankly Tucker is in a worse one from the standpoint of real versus expected production. And I'm not talking sabermetric xwBA level but just what we expect him to provide.
Let's not forget Machete's power. He may be the only person to ever literally knock the cover off a baseball.

Here is Straw's batting numbers based on where he's at in the batting order. If he's able to do what he's been doing in the 8 hole the rest of the year, there are far worse 8 hole hitters in the league. Obviously his defense is another issue all together though

I would bat Straw in the ninth spot when Castro catches. Put Castro at 8th spot in batting order.

Fiers will be spending the remaining Astros series curled up in the fetal position in Bob Melvin's office.


Bet he's calling up Ken Rosenthal right now to tell him how mean the A's are and how they've hurt his feelings.

one stat that shows how bad the 8 & 9 hitters have been...especially Machete....

Brantley in the #2 hole has only 4 RBI despite 10 doubles and 2 home runs.

only 9 of his 73 at-bats have been w/RISP

Convenient he forgot to mention his other guilty pleasure of hitting on underage girls.

Who Pena out pretty much for the year and If we exclude Pedro, who's the #1 guy you're keeping an eye on in the minors?

Grounds crew would have been summoned for a quick clean up if that had been me out there. Wow.

3-0 and correa stares at an 88 mph fastball that was guided more than thrown. Then swings at two breakers out of the zone.
