Tucker with a nice oppo double to the gap

If Tucker can start using the entire field... watch out. Farmer would have to make some room on his bandwagon.
I know we're all taught as kids to use the entire field, but you can be elite being a pull hitter.

All in the top 60 last year of pull%
Altuve 50% pull
Bellinger 48%
Bregman 45%
Betts 44%
Trout 42%
Rendon 42%

As long as he hits the ball hard and not on the ground, he'll be fine.

Yep. A hard hit double to the opposite field counts the same as a hard hit double pulled down the line on the scorebook

Apparently the A's are doing this as well but they're also saying that if a foul ball or HR hits your cut out they'll mail you a game used ball.

I think that's pretty cool.

Its interesting that they have Reddick in LF and Tucker in RF. Last year that was reversed if they were ever in the lineup together.

Through 5 innings, JV has thrown 67 pitches and given up 3 hits and 0 runs. Great outing for him.

Whitley gets 2 called strikes then gets Bregman to pop out to 1B.

Whatever we gave up for the duo of Aaron Sanchez and Biagini was too much. Lunhow got fleeced on that deal. Biagini is horrific. Not worth a box of puppies.

Did Lunhow though? Fisher batted .167 last year.

Very uneducated baseball take. Because if you can't hit it the other way ever they can pitch you differently plus play you that there are no doubles pulled into the hole...

Well, we can't just call every good pitch a strike on a 21 year old, now can we?

Thought the same thing when I saw a pic of Whitley last week. He looks like lanky Gerrit Cole.

I didnt say it doesn't matter if you can't hit it where it's pitched. I just said don't obsess over whether or not a hit was opposite field or pulled. It all counts the same in the STAT BOOK. Not the eye test

Agreed, but my particular post was more about what I remember as an extreme tendency to hit into the shift. Could be hyperbole on my part, but if Tucker can oppo on occasion I think it would benefit him. Just a completely uninformed opinion...
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
