If Tucker is actually pain free then he should be out on a rehab assignment asap. The fact he isn't suggests to me that they're concerned about a potential fracture in the event of him returning too soon. Or it was actually fractured in the first place, though i think it was a bad bone bruise.
Hopefully they squeeze some more magic sauce out of Yusei today because he hasn't fared too well against the Rangers lineup the last two times he faced them: 11 runs allowed 13 hits 3 HRs 8 K 4 BBs
I'm generally not a fan of this kind of thing because I think factual accuracy should be a guiding principle, but I will make an exception this case because it's past time the right-wing weirdo magats got a taste of their own medicine.
Also, this reminds me a lot of the treatment Al Gore got in the runup to the 2000 election. The GOP mercenaries and idiots in mainstream media knew he never said he invented the internet but they intentionally misquoted him for the purpose of kneecapping him with caricature. I consider this payback long overdue.
Fuck the GOP, forever and always.
That's reductive af imo considering the fact that the $70 billion company making big money off a clown peddling demonstrably false information like this has a massive responsibility to the public that the average paying subscriber to Spotify who listens to his podcast simply doesn't have. You know this.
I'm fine with the deadline passing without acquiring a bat if it meant not giving up another prospect haul. Hitting is not our dire need, it was always about the pitching and we at least addressed it by getting a serviceable SP3/4 and another lefty reliever. Pitching is what will take us deep into October and one thing this organization has consistently shown is an ability to find hidden pitching gems that bear fruit later in the year.
