Does anyone understand the Straily DFA?
I'm sure this has nothing to do with it, but Straily was not very impressive last night even though he kept the Astros in the game. Sounds odd I'm sure, but his fastball was horrible. He kept getting hitters out with a tailing down and away changeup. Once the Rangers spat on that pitch, he had no other recourse than to try and locate his fastball high in the zone to get them to fly out. His fastball was batting practice variety and once they measured it, they hammered it. That wasn't the type of arsenal you'd expect from a major league starter.
