Looks like Tavares caught Jake napping. At least I hope that's the reason for the slow reaction.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

I wouldn't want to trail with the approach at the plate today either.

Hopefully the meat of the lineup works some counts in the 4th.

Not what we needed from HB with what's looking like a bullpen day tomorrow.

HB's approaching 60 pitches in the 3rd with one out. Tomorrow's game without Valdez is starting to loom very big in the windshield.

All the more important reason to win this one. Lineup really needs to focus in.

Just noticed. Not only are they wearing a softball uni but they have red stirrups.

What is Tucker's BABIP on grounders? I know it's hyperbole, but it seems he is an automatic out on any ground ball. He must be incredibly unlucky.

Luck has nothing to do with it. There's a reason before the shift was banned that they always played 3 fielders on the right side. Because he is almost guaranteed to it that way. Can't blame the luck boogeyman when the guy is merely predictable.

Other lefties pull at a similar or greater rate and have better BABIP. Tucker is well below league average on pulled ground balls in BABIP. He's well below what last years league average was with the shift too.

This team cannot be at it's best until the FO/coaching staff decides that Maldy should get about 20-25% PT. If he cries about it like he did in the offseason, DFA him.

He does nothing to help this team win games.

Is he making contact on the same types of pitches at the same clip? Are the pitches he's making contact on over the same part of the plate as they were last year? Are they in the same types of counts?

Maybe there's a small luck factor. But that's just an excuse really. Tucker is hitting fieldable ground balls. You can't expect a lot of great success with hitting it in the ground a lot.
