Another caught stealing. Can someone teach our guys to slide head first, would have been safe.

Probably wouldn't hurt if we stopped making outs on the basepaths. Too many outs trying to steal, maybe we should cut back a little?
100% agree.
Why steal 3rd if you're already on 2nd. Why stretch a double into a triple (not this game). I wonder what our SB success rate is. Feels like below 50%.
