He'll burn pitchers arms in the regular season.
And fckk around with the offense.
If your club survives that it could win in the postseason.
Eso si, Que es said:welcome to the 2019 thread. AggiEE said for 4 months that Reddick was the better option until one day, he didn't anymore.AggiEE said:
If only we played Tucker instead of Reddick we'd have probably won another WS
Every pitch Reddick saw, every AB, Every night. Yall think we moan about Dusty's line up too much, go check September of that thread (but don't forget to look back and see how he backed Reddick first).
He definitely seems to intentionally put his team in tough spots often during the regular season so ideally they're ready for anything in the postseason. That may be giving him too much credit though.BadAggie said:

The @astros 1B hits this one on a line -- and delivers an epic bat flip -- to give the @SLSpaceCowboys a walk-off win. pic.twitter.com/t8d97jOq8j
Corey Julks played his 1st game w/ the @SLSpaceCowboys after being sent down. He went 0-5, but scored 4 runs. He reached twice on errors & walked twice. Also threw a runner out at home from LF. J.J. Matijevic went 5-5 w/ 4 doubles & a BB, reached base all 6 times in an 18-1 win

TED pace update
28 HR
34 SB
117 RBI
In '97, Bagwell was 43 HR, 31 SB, 135 RBI and hit .286. Tucker posting similar numbers to your greatest power hitter and RBI machine every is pretty solid for ol' Ted.

hey @bobbybaltimoree can you send me your email? Watched 4 fans get thrown out for chanting “free kevin brown” and they told a 14 year old to “stop chanting or he would be thrown out”

Give Singleton a start tonight
He's like all fortune tellers, a complete charlatan (guaranteeing a loss and a win):BCEDAg said:you need to get rid of your crystal ball. After the comeback win we are still 3 games back . You still have to get 27 outs before the game is decided. Bet you're a blast at parties.stoneca said:
After being stuck at 0.5 GB for like a week we are now back to 4 GB. Great

5 IP 3 H 0 R 0 ER 2 BB 3 K on 88 pitches.
Was 88-91, T93 with his fastball. Slider looks really good.
Inducing lots of weak contact.

Bat Yordan 3rd and call up Singleton.
Just fan stuff.

Speaking of Dusty, if the game had gone to extra innings they would have been without a DH. Because he keeps starting a catcher he has to pinch hit for in late innings.

How often in the later innings of games much less extras has a pitcher gone more than one inning in recent Astros history whether under A.J. or Dusty?McInnis said:

47.2% of the Astros’ plate appearances this year have been by “non-productive hitters” (95 wRC+ and under). Last year, it was 33.3%. https://t.co/iYacNuC4Fj
