  1. Tucker can’t be batting this high anymore. He either needs to move down or sit for a week.

  2. Tucker is the new Heyward. Rollover central. Glad to see all that work on GOING THE OTHER WAY is paying off.

  5. With the 3rd baseman playing in the short stop position, why is Tucker not bunting to 3rd every single time until it forces the opponent to change defensive position?

  6. I don’t know how Craig can look at Kyle Tucker not physically able to put a ball in the air with any power and think he doesn’t need a break

  10. Seriously Tuck? 1st pitch groundout double play. He should be on the bench today and tomorrow. The top of the lineup saw 7 damn pitches against a guy with a 4.66 ERA coming into the game

  16. On July 3, I was one click away from ordering a Kyle Tucker alt-blue jersey.

    Since then, he’s batting .186 with a .570 OPS and has hit one home run.

  19. I keep getting flak for putting some of the blame on Counsell, because “he doesn’t swing the bat”. But running this exact same lineup out every day expecting different results is manager malpractice. He seems to have no “feel”, just goes with the numbers.

  27. Joe Maddon would be playing everyone out of position to spark some hitting. I’m talking Happ at shortstop, Busch center and Seiya catching.

    And I’d bet it work too and with probably only like 4 errors and an IL stint

  28. Our starting pitchings group chat must be on fire lately. Way too good for these bums at the plate

  31. Can you even imagine this team going up against SD or LAD pitching in a series? 😥😥
