The DOWNFALL of Kyle Tucker with the Chicago Cubs

48 comments

1. Once you lose the fans, there is no way you can stay. He did the Cubs a big favor. Instead of Cubs management being the villain when they don’t resign him at season’s end, they now can do so without fan ire. How lucky.

2. I’ve been begging them to bench Tucker for weeks. He has been lost physically and mentally. Why was Counsell giving other players days off with Castro filling in but won’t bench Tucker?

3. It absolutely isn't just Tucker. The whole damn team! I'm also getting sick and tired of this Matt Shaw crap. How the hell are we supposed to have a third baseman that's hitting between. 222 and .225 constantly. Every day it's either 0 for 3 or 1 for 3 with little output. Can't have this out of third base. Whole team is just crap with a crappy line up that Counsell has to work with. Not all his fault either!

4. I miss schwarber

5. I don't understand why kyle and others don't try to hit to the opposite field
   Always trying to pull😮

6. Doesn't kyle look at film of himself in say…
   May and compare to now
   Maybe he finds a flaw

7. Counsell also looks lost

8. A pity happ didn't pinch hit for caisse

9. The question is
   Can they score!!!!!!!

10. MLB is trying to kill itself.

11. 6:18 He says “Two years ago what did I talk about all the time?” His work partner won’t remember what he talked about last week.😅

12. The Cubs are not losing solely because of Tucker. There is something very wrong with the Cubs organization. These team wide slumps are not a new occurrence as they happen fairly regularly. Additionally, I understand the loss of Alvarez, Altuve, and others who provided protection in the Astros lineup, but there is something else causing issues. Tucker is not the first FA or trade the Cubs have brought in, who has suddenly forgotten how to hit as they have in recent years. It's just a poorly run organization, and it has been for many years.

13. It’s one thing to be in a slump. It’s another to pout like a baby and not run out ground balls.

14. Tucker and PCA trotting to 1st base on ground balls to the right side. Whiny and uninspiring.

15. Same old

16. Is Kyle eligible for a QO? Maybe he will accept to "prove" his value for FA. His potential value now is plummeting.

17. Kyle Tucker is still one of the Astros most dedicated players, sent for 1 year to sabotage the Cubs in exchange for Cam Smith. Then in free agency, he will be acquired once more by the Astros and they will go on to win multiple championships with the best versions of Tucker and Smith… next level 3D chess… J/K

18. My thoughts on Tucker is that he isn’t a leader. He was a support player on the Astros and the Cubs tried to him the star on their team. I don’t think he is the type of person to handle being a star player.

19. 2 hits in the first chance to see the team you're chasing. Disgraceful and completely inept.

20. Great show. Really nervous we aren’t making playoff guys. Something has to change quickly

21. It's really unfair to put all this team failure on Tucker. He's a career .280's hitter who's in a bad slump. He was over-hyped in April and now I think some have unrealistic expectations. All hitters except the elite have slumps. Only Hoerner and Shaw have been hitting for the last month. Are Busch, PCA, Kelly, and Suzuki broken too?

22. Omg… the typical Chicago Cubs whining fans here. Jesus! You’re in the lead in the Wild Card as of today, and 16 games over .500! Quit your whining already! Milwaukee is in your heads. You are NOT catching Milwaukee. Hell, no one is. But cmon, the Wildcard is there for the taking. Having lived in Chicago, although hugely passionate, the Chicago fan whines more than anyone. The key is they even whine when they’re doing pretty damn well. They just happen to be in Milwaukee’s division this season. We have all seen it over and over again, that a team makes the playoffs, a player gets super hot, and that very well could be Kyle Tucker, or the team gets super hot and they make a huge run! Cubs fans, there’s no reason to panic, you are STILL in the thick of it as far as the Playoffs go! Confidence!!!!

23. King suck! Should of been the title

24. I went to the Miami Marlin series in May. For 3 games Kyle Tucker hit the ball hard for the whole series. He ripped for 3 straight games.

25. My thing is this, we’ve said that we want a star and Kyle hasn’t been it for us but what if Tucker was straight up injured (in public eye) what would this franchise do?! We said we needed pitching and now we can’t hit, I feel like it’s a coaching issue or lack there of, like you said Turang has like 6 homers in 13 games and Tucker only 6 in 3 months, wtf are we doing with development or helping this out?! And if everyone is going to avoid this then he needs to sit for a while, no playoffs for us this year, we don’t deserve it

26. Cody had a SERIOUS injury. Easily recognized.

27. The Cubs will absolutely lead the league in one category after this season. Excuses.

28. The common denominator is Jed. But he got rewarded by Tom.

29. Here’s what I think will happen. Tucker will sign with the Dodgers or Yankees, and he’ll be MVP IN 2026, which will show just how bad a baseball organization the Cubs are. Especially the Rickets.

30. LeBron James sat out because they League changed how they were testing for steroids and he had to sit out to wait for it to leave his blood stream before he got tested again.

    That's why when he came back he was significantly skinnier lol

31. Y’all were saying WEEKS ago he should sit for a while so he was right for THIS series. I hate how they waited this long and now here we are.

32. I'm from the outside looking in, but I don't think you could say it's 80% Tucker's fault. He's having a hilariously bad August with a 16 wRC+, but PCA isn't much better at 24. Busch has a 38, etc. I don't think Suzuki's 121 and Shaw's 144 are enough to balance that.

33. And folks scoffed at me when I suggested trading Tucker at the deadline.

34. Tucker looks skinny to me. Like he lost weight or something. I hope he is ok and can get back on track.

35. He is average, but some fool will pay him hundreds of millions,😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

36. Can’t believe we haven’t seen the obvious – Jason Heyward put the jinx on right field – gotta recognize the roll over groundouts to first –

37. I rather see the cubbies sign Kyle schwarber then kyle Tucker less money better player

38. What’s the point of divisions with 12 teams making the playoffs. Maybe they could put ad patches on the other sleeve too. The current keepers of the game are flushing it right down the shitter.

39. One of the worst "good" players I've ever seen. Awful awful player

40. Hey Matt Go Hawks!!!!!!!!.

41. Its like he's got the yips lol!

42. Kyle Tucker, the great Cubs savior.
    😂😂😂😂😂

43. Great episode lmao

44. Leave Tucker alone, it would have better if he told the fans in the front row to "Bite Me"!

45. Go cubs go

46. as kyle tucker grounds out to the right side 😂

47. Funny you should mention moving backward because …from Passan…not sure if its a fake account…no more 7 inning doubleheader and no more ghost runners

48. Chicano clubs
