One big hit in 65 postseason at Bats is choking. Dude had a .414 OPS for the 2017 postseason after an .847 OPS in the regular season. That's literally more than a 50 percent drop from regular season production. When Starks went 2-18 in 1994, the 2 buckets he made didn't mean he didn't choke that game. The bigger picture with Reddick is that's not just one season or one postseason of dramatic decline in high leverage situations. It's an entire career.
Offense picks such an odd time to go on a profound slump. The streakiness of the lineup is insane. If this isn’t a good time to call up Tucker then I don’t know what is. You’ve got veterans floundering and AAAA players maintaining lowered expectations
I mean literally you are just hoping for a strikeout when he comes up with RISP in big situations. He's a GIDP waiting to happen. Did it over and over and over in 2017 playoffs. Nearly cost us a ring.
**** the Rays. Mediocre team in purgatory not really going anywhere of any significance. Let them have their little run in the dog days of summer. They'll be forgotten and back to irrelevance soon.
Plenty injured bats, yet we still BARELY lose. Plus, Tampa has voodoo magic when playing us. Let's get another winning streak going.
The Astros lose 3 out of 4 to the Rays every year they win the WS. Also, when your lineup is scattered with guys who wouldn’t be an everyday player on most teams, the results typically reflect that. Regardless, I’ll take only one series loss for the entire month.
How many more games do the Astros have left with them? I feel like relying on other teams to beat them won't be required.
Mariners' losing to other teams isn't required, but I'd rather win the division by 15 games, than 10.
