Looked harder than that. It was on the first baseman in a hurry.

I also don't have exit velocity at my fingertips

Hes also hitting .188/.339/.248 his last 30 games. Think Tucker criticism is more than fair m8

[Hot Sauce]

I love great defense! 

[BKHoo]

Tucker hits the ball 87 mph and it looks like a rope compared to what we have been seeing. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Please don't waste another good start.

He's been bad, but people are starting to act like he's hitting into double plays on purpose

[Hot Sauce]

Oh Dansby. 😑

[Soul]

Frustrating as all horsefeathers.

[Derwood]

Too many grounders

[chibears55]

Kyle Tucker 28

Kyle Schwarber 32

Both FA and you're only allowed to sign one long term, who are you signing 

[UMFan83]

PCA has been having the exact same at-bats for two months now.

He had a 985 OPS in July. It's basically been a 2 week slump.

[BKHoo]

This AMAZING Pirates pitcher has faced the minimum through 3.

I love Kyle, but it’s Kyle and not a particularly close debate for me.

Game over?

I do and yea theres that but....

I mean i can really see Hoyer signing Pham to start the season in RF until like May when they decide to bring Caissie up.

That would be a Hoyer thing to do

[We Got The Whole 9]

They dont even work ABs anymore. The walks they get are pretty much unintentional intentional walks. The discernment and discipline from these hitters is mostly gone. Theyre swing happy, they chase, and whiff a lot, and pound a ton of pitchers pitches into the ground.

[We Got The Whole 9]

And then they unleash an excuse-me swing on a pitch up and in and pop it up. 

[UMFan83]

Trending towards losing 8 of our last 11 games

[Geographyhater8888]

Wind is blowing out for the first time since they’ve been in second place and can’t even lift one to the warning track. Fcking embarrassing.

[BKHoo]

When is the last time we won a game where the other team scored first?

Not yet. The Cubs have to score their two runs then lose in the 8th.
