    I really wish Jake could hit, because with his glove he could be one of the top shelf outfielders in baseball.

    These A's announcers are announcing as if they are the Astros announcers. Super complimentary of the Stros

    If Jake could hit, he'd be a cross between Mike Trout and Ken Griffey Jr.

    I'd take my chances. He'd probably beat it out

    I really dont like his approach at the plate. If he was a 30 homer guy, someone like Gattis, i dont mind, but a guy with little power, i don't like his at bats many times. He looks awful a lot of times.

    I'd drop Altuve to two and see what happens.

    And that's what happens when you blow opportunities to put up more runs on the board. Game tied.
