I get really upset whenever the broadcast brings up Palencia’s blown save in Miami earlier in the year because he had the third out and Tucker just kinda jogged for it and made a really appalling effort for a big leaguer, and the Marlins ended up winning from there. Palencia has been butt awful for a couple weeks lately but its not fair to hold that game against him, Tucker blew it singlehandedly being lazy.
Tucker continues to be an absolute liability in the outfield. Never did think Ricketts would pay his price in the offseason and don’t think thats a bad thing anymore. Unlikable player
At the end of the day they should end up winning 90 games and everyone seemed to be happy with that as the goal back in January and February, aside from the expectations that 90 would win the Central. Realistically this is a low 80s win team that got extra wins in April and May off what will likely be the best 2 months of both Kelly and PCA’s careers offensively.
I don’t see how its the managers fault that Castro can’t see, or Shaw can’t make a simple pick, or Tucker can’t not throw the ball directly into a runners head but thats just me
Wtf is happening. Can’t even blame any one person tonight. Bad pitching, awful defence from Castro, horrifying at bats from Kelly and Turner, whiff by Shaw on an easy tag, and a terrible (unlucky?) play by Tucker
Anybody who is surprised that professional male athletes who grew up being worshipped due to their abilities and in an environment that promotes unquestioned deference to an authority figure (the coach) and largely come from money (atleast in the case of US/Canadian born players) would lean towards or atleast be cool with the Republicans is pretty naive. Doesn’t make it less disappointing obviously.
