I can't answer this question without coming across as negative, so I'll just say that I disagree. Although Clay Rapada's reputation as having a bad move has been earned through his time in the major leagues. That was bad baseball by Stubbs. It's one thing to get picked off if you're looking to run, but he clearly was staying put and just got caught napping.

This is a big at-bat. Martin has hit the ball hard twice today.

Homer pitched pretty well. Hopefully Logan can hold it for him.

You're limiting Stubbs' game by expecting him to stay awake on base.

Next thing you'll be expecting him to bunt more than five times per season.

Personally, nice guy or not, I've seen way more than enough from him.

Truth be told, he did walk twice today. So him being able to actually stay on base was really just a bonus.
