This year, much of the season, he just really hasn't been even enough to justify that, right? voice-verified
Like we talk about the Andres Jimenez line where he's an elite defender. voice-verified
He's one of the lightest hitting guys in baseball. voice-verified
And so it's still fine because he produces so much on defense. voice-verified
Straw can kind of be one of those players. voice-verified
But earlier in the year, he his offensive production was just, it was brutal. voice-verified
And it's been significantly better recently. voice-verified
In a game like this, where you're a coffin field, a huge outfield, there would have been a really good case to use him. voice-verified
But I think John Schneider is pretty reluctant when he sees I'm already having Jimenez in there as kind of a glove first guy in a big way. voice-verified
I've got my backup catcher. voice-verified
as well and Kirk is, you know, an offensive force that you're missing. voice-verified
Obviously they didn't have Springer either. voice-verified
That was the rationale today, but you are seeing that. voice-verified
You're seeing Miles Straw show up against right-handed pitchers a little bit more lately because he's producing and because just the all-around contribution is there for him. voice-verified
And there may be some trial of Sean Keyes getting out and left a bit or maybe McAdoo just voice-verified
when you're really looking for a bat, but it's nice to be able to fall back on just saying, you know what, we're gonna put straw out there. voice-verified
We might feel like the bottom of the lineup is a little bit weak as a result, but we know for certain that the defensive contribution is going to be there. voice-verified
And if he can get on base once, there's a decent chance he can, you know, advance more bases than other guys or even swipe one. voice-verified
And it's a nice thing to have. voice-verified
I'm really excited by Perry as a prospect as well. voice-verified
