  10. If Lopez touched that with what looked like his foot straddling the foul line (part fair, part foul), that’s a fair ball, isn’t it?

  14. I CANNOT WATCH ANOTHER MYLES STRAW AT BAT WHERE HE HAS NEGATIVE BAT SPEED AND JUST HITS A WEAK GROUNDBALL

  16. “Just didn’t get enough on it”
    Can be said about every Myles Straw at bat ever

  18. Hit it with your purse next time!!!!!! Clearly just walk Will so he could face Straw.

  20. Is it possible to have negative exit velocity? Because Myles Straw is trying his hardest to find out

  21. Rick has been a little spicy the last two nights. While Straw was up, he pointedly mentioned getting punished for striking out looking.

  23. There are literally people who argue straw should still start everyday because he is “hitting better than last year”…

  24. Andrés: dribbles into an out

    Myles: does the same thing

    Haters in this thread who picked Myles for DFA of the week: I HATE MYLES STRAW WHAT A POS

  27. Brennan should be hitting 2nd but Francona won’t put two lefties back to back at the top.

  32. my favorite part of that Bo replay is the KC fan in the background shaking his head and smiling in disbelief, lol
