    Right. I havent noticed any egregious misplays. He seems to track balls in the gap and across the foul line just fine.

    He had a few interesting moments in the Coors Field games... however Coors Field is most likely the toughest LF to play in all of baseball (San Fran up there as well), whereas MMP likely the 'easiest' minus getting used to playing the ricochet and knowing where the wall juts out in LCF.

    He will be fine there. He'll likely be just fine in RF as well.

    His arm plays a lot better in LF than R

    Personally, I think Tucker’s speed and athleticism play better in RF, and he’s more of a “speed” OF than a “play caroms and bounces” one. Just my opinion. I see him as our long-term RF.

    Anyway, time to win the series!

    What are the odds of Grienke busting out the ephus today?

    You could do a lot worse than Tucker in RF, especially if Brantley comes back.

    Radio guys said Dusty thinks he's been slowing down a bit lately...also said he's never hit Lynn well (He's 0-8 with 7 Ks)

    **** you, Lance Lynn.

    Michael Brantley is a professional hitter.

    Now, get out of your funk, Yuli.

    Did that pitch hit the plate before Yuli hit it?

    Well, now they know the LF has a candyass arm.
