Everyone gets hot and cold during a season.  This just happens to be the time when Nico and Shaw (and Turner?) are swinging well and the big guns Seiya/Tucker/Busch are cold at the same time.

Considering how cold Tuck, Seiya and Happ have been the last month plus and what only maybe like 5 or 6 homers between the 3 of them in that span?   It's a wonder we're not further back.  Just need to get them back up to speed.

.318/,500/.409 173 wRC+ over the past week for Tucker. Only thing missing is the power. I'd say, Tucker is waking up. But Seiya and PCA needs to follow suit.

I mean, I also would like to see the team go 17-7 in a 24 game stretch, but I'm not going to be overly disappointed if they don't reach that level. Winning series is pretty cool with me. 

It basically the same thing..

You win 2 of 3 the next 8 series and youre 16-8 🤷‍♂️

So you are saying you want them to lose 2 games to the Brewers over the next 20?! 😆 

 

it’s just crazy how hot they are. 

Id take it, they'd pick up a game on them after what will likely be a tough series with them.

Anyone else know the ball Turner hit was gone off the bat?  I'm proud to say I did.

Yes, my brain defaults to pessimism but that looked gone off the bat.  Maybe 5% doubt remembering the wind but it looked pretty solid as soon as he hit it.

Speaking of, I still haven't see Statcast details on that homer.  Broke Savant.

That is strange.  It's still not on MLB either.

I know the score bug in the top left said 108.

I'm not going to say I knew it was gone, but I felt good about it based on Turner holding the bat up the way he did. He knew he hammered that pitch.
