    Tucker would be my choice as well.

    Good with Tucker or Rasmus. If they go Tucker, it pushes Springer to CF which he hasn't done this year (or unnecessarily uses up a player).

    I'd go Rasmus--he can get the ball to the OF at a minimum

    Well they could pinch hit Tucker and then put Rasmus in CF.

    Maybe Hinch figured it it were Tucker, they'd just walk him with 1B open

    That's my point--using up a player in Tucker for a single at-bat when you have Rasmus available to do both things. I trust Rasmus to get the ball in the air at a minimum

    What does Springer do here?

    Walk, Strikeout or Home Run?

    It worked out, but Rasmus strikes out way too much to put him in that situation. Tucker would have been the better option, imo.

    I give him more credit than Carter re: K's. I think he can hit situationally and not K knowing he has a man on 3rd and < 2 outs. For me, the cons of blowing a player unnecessarily in a 2-2 game are too high

    Just terrible situational hitting the last two innings. Pretty pathetic.
