Take it one step further. He HAS TO BE the first player to homer against three different teams on three consecutive days. Rangers, Mariners, Astros. The three consecutive days is easy. Facing three different teams in three consecutive days is the hard part.
Tucker is such an awkward fielder. say what you want but he dropped an easy one. his reads on line drives are horrendous too
Especially since I stayed up till 1am Monday night/Tuesday morning, to watch them blow a 7 run lead. Got up the next morning at 6:30 and felt like the old days after a night of drinking.

I'm guessing we see Pruitt, Javier and Graveman out of the Bullpen. Perhaps have this platoon along with Taylor, Stanek and Pressly as options A and B to end games where we lead. Save the remainder for early or middle innings or where we are losing by a large margin. But those situations provide the opportunity to force your way into the late inning platoons.
Signed before 2020, missed 2020 entirely and a huge portion of 2021, pitched 2.2 innings. DFA. Start the appreciation thread.
I didn't think Pruitt or Baez actually existed. Seeing Pruitt take the mound in an Astros uniform, it was same shock and awe I had when I first saw Randy Johnson on tv in an Astros uni in 1998.
As I understand it, DFA simply means he's assigned to the farm without the protection of MLB roster status as opposed to being released. So other teams could make a claim, but won't necessarily do so. He could pass through waivers.
