    Lulz at Straw in CF. I thought he was supposed to be better than this.

    I have not been impressed with him in the field to this point.

    Well at least we're on the board. 1-0 won't hold with our pitching ,but let's see if we can get some more runs.

    Does a outfield of Tucker-Straw-TBA scare anyone else?

    He butchered backing up the inside the park HR the other night and that guy tonight should have been either held at first or thrown out at second, but dude slides 10 feet away from the ball and gives the runner 2B.

    His utility to the club wont be that high if pinch running is all he can do. It might be starting jitters though. Straw not used to significant quality time out there. Hopefully, he will find some focus.

    He literally just bounced off the wall... like it was a ride or trampoline or something... without much attempt to actually catch a baseball.

    Unfortunately only able to watch the road team feed, pathetic little digs by the commentators are pissing me off.

    Considering TBA is likely Alvarez or Springer, most teams.

    I'm sure you could find a worse OF defense than Alvarez-Straw-Tucker if you tried hard enough.
