That would've been fine too--I don't see a huge difference personally. I think he would've been in the lineup tomorrow then, and people would've said the same thing. "Tucker is hot, Gattis sucks because he's 0-1 and has never done anything good" etc.
Like by post says above Tucker has higher upside moving forward and should get more ABs at DH I know. Gattis should be solid be he's nothing special and not a better choice at DH moving forward than Tucker.
Unless Tucker went 0-5 tonight and his average dropped from .333 to .250 In which case some would be saying "we can't have a .250 hitter as our DH" Just how the garm is
I'm with you at this point (depending on how the season goes for both of them going forward). But with the string of righties, perhaps Hinch wanted to get Gattis a game in early on rather than having him ride the pine.
What is there to say Tucker's upside is higher? A lot of people thought Gattis would hit 35 HR in our park playing full time, he didn't have a good year ....he isn't a 35 year old on the backside of his career though.....I think both of them have big upsides with the bat, both have a not so great floor too Like other things it will work itself out with time
Tucker is younger and is already a better hitter than Gattis. I think Gattis is a solid bat and I hope he can catch some because that's where we could use his bat more.
Agree with this. Not the biggest Gattis fan, but he likely had a down year last year. I like Tucker. Just enjoying the watching them right now.
Springer starting to take what the pitcher is giving him. Doesn't need to kill the ball each time, a single will do.
