The Tucker comment is super concerning . Entirely possible that he won’t be the real Kyle Tucker the rest of the way . They didn’t give him a couple of weeks and now the entire season is horsefeathered .
I think it’s hilarious that there are people upset the Brewers won 🤣🤣. Go Brewers . The Cubs can get another 162 games after the 40 they have left and they still wouldn’t catch them
I am not sure they will tbh . It’s pretty much the same trend with the offense as the last few years when they all disappear at crunch time . My hope was that getting a true superstar like Tucker would keep this from happening .
Unfortunately he is the one leading the way instead of putting the team on his back for a while when they are hurting the most . So dissapointed in Tucker .
Willy Castro was a nice fit because the bench was awful . He wasn’t going to save the offense . He was in a bad slump as well when the trade happened. They have bigger problems than Willy Castro .
They probably won’t play any sort of playoff game this year. This is trending like the year they had about 90 percent playoff odds entering September and somehow blew it . Don’t remember the year 23 / 24 ?
Same garbage every year . We get to hear Hoyer talk about how the offense broke in his end of the season presser .
Lopez is not needed with Castro on the roster . I am tempted to bring Cassie up tbh . Keep him in the lineup most days againts righties while giving the other OFS days off .
Maybe he has a couple of hot weeks in him before the league adjust .
So now the question is , who comes up to take his roster spot ? McGuire will be the backup the rest of the year . Who comes up ? Alcantara , Long , Cassie ?
Might as well try Shaw leading off for a few games ? I know lineup construction doesn’t matter a whole lot , but just have a different look and see what happens ?
