Tucker is younger but is he that much better than Schwarber?

Significantly.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Significantly.

Is Tucker worth the extra 200m he will demand over KS?

Is Tucker worth the extra 200m he will demand over KS?

That’s a better question.

 

[Pharmacy99]

Significantly

is he better than Schwarber offensively?

 

[cyclonenation5]

is he better than Schwarber offensively?

Yes.

 

[Pharmacy99]

Yes.

He is better but not significantly. Schwarber averaged around 40 HRS in the past 5 years. Tucker has good power, decent speed, decent average, and low strike out rate, but does he worth $500 millions?

So how many games back of the Brewers before we panic?

Wait until after the 5 game series with them mid-August.

They have to lose at some point, right??

 

[NazClone]

Hopefully Brown is done.

Brewers have good pitching and they play good fundamental baseball. We have to play really well to catch them.

I don’t think they do. Cubs have basically been a .500 team for the past two months and I’m not sure they’re healthy enough to change that, so if they fall behind much at all it’s a problem.

 

[Pharmacy99]

Hopefully Brown is done.

He pitched well but his limit is around 3-4 innings.

 

[Skyh13]

I’m really not sure why PCA is batting there. 3 pitch strikeout, and looked terrible. Why, Counsell?

Quick question: Thinking about getting the Marquee app for streaming the rest of the season. Are any games blacked-out for Iowa residents?

 

[cyatheart]

Honestly I’m not worried about the Brewers. Just win and get to the playoffs, can’t control what the Brewers do.

No. Only games that aren’t on it are national televised games

PCA has now struck out in 8 of his last 9 ABs…

Other teams have figured out his weaknesses. He needs to make some adjustments.

I agree. Horrible outing tonight.

 

[NazClone]

Braiser needs to be DFA’d.
