He needs a slap.

Tucker and Seiya need to wake up today they keep failing with ducks on the pond 

[chibears55]

Tucker due for a bomb

[DYMNO]

Lot of warning track power from Tucker of late, no?

[chibears55]

Come on Zuki, need a big 2 out hit here

[chibears55]

PCA let be awesome here

Tucker 1 for his last 10.

PCA has been overly aggressive in these spots lately.

I think he had a single but he needs to turn a corner. 
 

meanwhile now it’s Elvis Presley to come in. Can we please not serve batting practice.

Uggggh...

Got the crooked number and lead, now need the late inning relievers to do their part.

Seiya needed to be ready for the one strike he saw. Cardinals wanted it to get to PCA.

My bad.

If you were the Cardinals in that situation would you have rather faced Seiya with runners on 1st and 2nd and 2 outs or PCA with the bases loaded and 2 outs?

L/L matchup is preferred and sometimes PCA takes overeager ABs but his swing is so quick that it’s quite possible he turns on one for a grand slam

basically what I’m saying is that you should definitely prefer the L/L matchup but PCA has burned teams in those situations this year.

A strikeout and 2 ground balls, what you want to see on a day like this 

[UMFan83]

Advanced stats aside, it would be really wild if a guy with this batting line wasn’t an all star right?

.296 18 HR 55 RBI .945 OPS

This bullpen is so dynamite.  With the chance to get even better with a deadline deal.  Hope they can finish it today
