Kyle Tucker chooses new number (23) to honor Michael Brantley

stick the knife in deeper tuck
Gee thanks Tuck
For further context: he was probably forced to change since Dave Roberts wears #30. Regardless, despite the overall situation – it’s still nice to see and shows he hasn’t fully forsaken his Astros roots. A gesture for Uncle Mike will always be appreciated.
Sorry it’s too late now bud
If Brantley mentored Tuck he should be hired as our hitting coach.
Makes me like him even less
I’ll be happy for him. Didn’t the Dodgers break their piggy banks open and offer him $60M/yr for 4 years?
I’ll still root for him to strike out every AB. But I’m happy for him.
When and where is Michael Brantley going to be a hitting coach? Uncle Mike knows hitting, and is a natural at mentoring young players.
Next year is gonna be weird af. Like I want Tuck to play well but also lose every game and everyone else on his team needs to be abysmal and also I hope Tuck hates it there and regrets signing there but at the same time I wish him all the happiness and success in the world but he’s still gotta win zero games period and also have a bad time.
I’m so confused guys
We wish him well.
R.I.P Michael Brantley
Don’t care, Brantley wasn’t a traitor bitch 🤷♂️
Fuck Tuck
Tuck is honoring Uncle Mike. Hate that he’s with LA, love that his number is for an Astro! FLAD
Dodgers offered him 60 million dollars a year. I don’t know many people who would turn that down, myself included. As annoyed as I am that he’s a Dodger, I can’t hate the man for getting that money.
I do find it touching that he honored Brantley with his number choice. I really did enjoy their friendship.
I wish him well, but if he went sub-Mendoza line, I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t enjoy it.
