It's great Tucker is a SB threat. I'll take all the tools we can get. Now we've got something cooking after that walk. No DPs
Its funny how everyone magically thinks starting pitching has become irrelevant and we're going to somehow out hit the opposition. Its as if they completely forgot what our hitters did against Glasnow, Snell, Strasburg, Max. If Verlander cant come back this season then I say trade Springer and start a mini rebuild while we still have valuable pieces. Stop drinking the Koolaid that we'll score 7+ runs in every game. Without another 2 SPs this team wont be winning anything.
Still a few more weeks to go before we can evaluate again and have a real idea on the playoff picture. But with our farm system depleted and pitching core aging, I'm open to a mini-reload if we're out of it (2016 Yankees-style?).
After screwing James for 3 innings, the ump calls a pitch 3" off the plate for SEA. That's twice now against Altuve today.
