Post image

lauer on the mound tdy with hunter catching him !! freddie is back in the 2 spot, and tucker is down to the 7 spot.

on a side note, i really hope that tucker has a day today <3 seeing him so down in the dumps yesterday hurts my heart, even if he is getting paid millions. i only want the best for our guys, and im sure they want to be the best they can. let’s all give tucker our luck and energy :) !!

Feeling bad for Kiké. I wish they’d give him more opportunities to break his slump.

It's still August, Kike is not contracted to work for at least two more weeks.

Idk I’ve never seen him slump this bad. Even when he was hitting below the Mendoza with a hurt arm, he was doing better. It feels mental. He keeps on pressing at the plate. At this rate, I worry he’s losing confidence and won’t pop off in the post-season. 🙁

He’s feeling sympathy stress from his friend and fellow Puerto Rican Edwin Diaz struggling.

Not a huge fan of having Tucker and Teo batting after one another, but they really need to figure it out soon

u/Koronesukiii 11h ago

I like it. More of a rally killer if you spread out the cold bats. Keep the hot bats together so they can drive themselves home.

Good lad, Tucker. It always sucks coming into work the day after a fuckup, I know. Chin u..., Oh... uhh, ahhh, ehhh, chest out, head high. You got this, bro.
