Straw is a terrible base stealer this season
He is. I was sticking up for him early in the season but for all his speed he's got terrible instincts.

From the fkn knees

And how the hell does the ump miss that? He's right on top of the play with a perfect angle.

Dusty looks like a rodeo clown. Seriously. We need better representation from the dugout.

Straw now 5 of 9 stealing bags. That's a horrendous % for someone with his speed

Review is worthless in MLB unless it's just an egregious error

The ump is somewhat understandable...the review center in NY is absolutely inexcusable.

Our CF has no arm strength, bats around .230 on a good stretch and his elite speed gets him thrown out trying to steal second multiple times.

Not everyone can be TED with his 5/5. He doesn't have Straw's speed either.

Someone explain to me what Straw does well enough to warrant being an every day starter in the big leagues...cause I don't get it.

That's not entirely fair...

...he also takes horrible angles on balls and is unreliable with his glove.

Sometimes I don't think I know much about baseball, but when Blummer says on air something I posted a minute earlier...

According to Statcast data, Straw's average sprint speed of 28.8 feet per second ranks him in the 94th percentile in MLB. Last season, his 28.6 feet per second ranked him in the 91st percentile. However, in 2018 and 2019, he had an average of 30.1 feet per second, which was in the 99th percentile.

I feel like that number has been ticking up a little. He has quite a few bolts. He has it in him. He just doesn't always show it.

Things are getting heated in Oakland...

Also Canha is a dumbass.

I feel like Straw's fielding is improving since the flubbed play with Brantley. Also really liked seeing him go the other way on his first at bat. If he could do that more consistently his obp and ba could climb.

His baserunning still needs a lot of work. If he had Tucker's baserunning instincts he's be a huge weapon.

Would rather have Marisnik out there but I'm seeing smallsigns of improvement.

I'm on Canha's side. Batter can get pissed when it comes that up and end.

Time to tack on some insurance for when Abreu tries to get a save and give me cardiac arrest again.

Catching up, and this caught my eye. You teach geography also?

Doesn't matter, so be it. A visit to Chazistan it is!
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Is pressly even available today? If Javier has a clean 8th want him back out there. Unless pressly is 100%

I don't doubt that, but the question is whether Pressley is available after his stiff neck the other night. Dusty said earlier he wasn't sure.
