JMO

Riot is fast - that is, he is faster than the average ML player. But, he is not fast - like Michael Bourn or Carl Crawford. He was able to steal last year because of the “surprise” factor - no scouting reports - but he can’t steal when teams are expecting it unless it’s a changeup or something.

It’s a tough situation for him. Without speed, he isn’t a ML player because he has zero power. But he isn’t fast enough to play the pure speed game. At least, he needs to learn to get better jumps and pick his spots better. He and Bob Dernier have some work to do.

At least DeRo knows how to pick his spots when stealing bases.

(He’s 3-3).

Of course, that only applies when DeRo plays.

BTW, Riot might be due for a day off. He’s 1 for his last 9, and they have 20 games in a row. I’d hate to see Ronny sit for a week after having a good game last night.
