OK, I may be overreacting here, but...
Scottie is not getting reads. He is getting thrown out by guys with less than stellar arms such as Jorge Posada. I am worried.
I love his aggressiveness, but Scottie has been thrown out WAY too much lately. We would be better off with hit and runs than with him getting thrown out. I remember when he was at 40 plus SB about two months ago, and he's only at 54... what gives?
We need Scottie back on track... our offense goes with him, and unfortunately, right now its in the pooper.
He's slumping and he's probably a bit beat up, that's why I'm hoping we can clinch the division kind of early and get him some rest. His jumps actually weren't horrible against the Yanks Posada was making exceptional throws with a very quick release.
