If the Cubs were winning 7-0 and Tucker wasn't struggling, no one would have even noticed. When a team and/or player are struggling things like that get magnified. I do think that the reason he didn't run was was the real issue. He is mentally down. He needed benched for a bit, 

I would say it definitely would not have been replayed as much, but I can tell you had I seen it as it was in real time - this guy would still have been upset.  He shut it down before it hit the guy's glove. 

But HE probably doesn't do that if things were going well.   And yes it was definitely time for a sitting down, probably even a couple of games before that.  The two hits he got Saturday were both 6 hoppers just between first and second.

Funny of all the times I’ve thought about muting you, who would have thought it would have ultimately been due to repeated Michigan comments in Cubs game threads?  
 

You see that 5 star RB we got today?

Who the hell is 'we'? Doubt you even sniffed AA like most weak azzed Meechigan fan boys. As for 'muting' me go ahead. Then you can hide from the well deserved criticism of the cheaters and the worst. Best part is there's even more to come: See Matt Weiss

https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2025/07/24/former-michigan-football-assistant-coach-hides-dodges-cameras-after-hearing-in-hacking-case/

For those of you who don't want to click on the article it's pretty damning:

"Weiss is accused of hacking into the accounts of more than 150,000 college athletes -- primarily women -- to access personal, medical, and intimate information without consent.

In a separate criminal case, Weiss is facing more than 20 charges related to the alleged large-scale hacking scheme. Weiss pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include 14 counts of unauthorized computer access (each carrying a potential five-year sentence) and 10 counts of aggravated identity theft, which mandates a two-year sentence to be served consecutively to any other penalties."

One of the cool parts of winning a national championship is when other fan bases tip their cap. “We don’t like you, but we respect you. That was a heck of a team.” Certain titles, however, will never get that treatment.

Pinch hitting for Owen was flat out stupid so early in the game. Kid is having a great day ! You’re going to need his bat late in game. Only 5th inning 

I know this is nearly 24 hours later lol, but I totally agree with your statement. I made a similar statement and was met with resistance from a few people. There are number guys (guys that rely totally on data:statistics, and then there’s just people that go with the hot hands). I am not saying to never use stats and data/numbers, but some managers tend to complicate and overthink these situations. Ride with what is working - just my thoughts too. Go Cubs! It was great to see some signs of life offensively last couple games 👍
