Expect a long game tonight fellas... Rangers are going with an opener to start the game. Lots of pitching changes could be happening.

Also because we're going to score a **** load of runs.

You are probably right. Just checking on Lyles' splits and holy crap he is dog****



If I'm a right handed bat tonight I'm incredibly excited to see Lyles. If I'm Brantley or Reddick or Toro, get ready to take some pitches because Lyles likes to walk lefties.

I know Brantley prefers to play the field, but why would he play over Tucker at this point? He's not a bad outfielder, but his range is limited.

Arm strength. Tucker's working with a pool noodle out there.

His arm looks like a Howitzter compared to Preston's

Games this series start at the traditional 7:10pm time.

For you "I hate 8pm or later game times" types, there are only 7 games left on the schedule that start at 8pm or later, and 1 is only starting that late because its the 2nd half of a doubleheader.

Range is 100x more important than arm strength for an outfielder.

Disclaimer, I am by no means a Tucker hater. However, if he's in left field, there no way that A's runner gets thrown out at home in the first game of the double header Saturday. Watching him throw the ball back to the infield is like watching a pitcher do soft toss pregame. I'm happy he's coming around offensively, but he isn't anywhere comparable defensively to Springer, Reddick, or Brantley.

And right now I think I have more range than Brantley.

Dude has slowed up a lot with the quad issue he had earlier this season.

The metrics literally show he's about 5 outs better than Reddick this year. I posted it a page or 2 ago.

His speed already arguably makes him better defensively than them.

Do I care if he has a weak arm, if he releases it two seconds quicker than what Brantley would have?

If I recall correctly, he had a real shakey 1st inning last start & finished well. Hopefully, that repeats.

Well, I guess this is the best staff to come back on, so get after it offense.

Okay. It may not have been the last start but it was a recent start.

Ump sucks.

We got a gift and we got robbed so it's sort of evened out, but regardless.
