The Astros have had the best record in baseball since Tucker went down for the better part of 3 months with a bone contusion. Is injury really why he’s not in the lineup?
Yes.
Yes. If he were in the lineup instead of McCormick/Cabbage/Loperfido/whomever, I think they’d be another 5 games ahead.
Who replaced his WAR?
Nobody. That’s why it’s silly to suggest that they’ve been better off without him.
How did they win so many more game if nobody replaced his WAR?
Are we really having this discussion?
Maybe they’re that much better than their opponents.
Because overall, post Tucker injury, I think the team has pitched better, top to bottom, and Bregman finally came around with his bat.
They are that much better than their opponent because a member of the team (not Kyle Tucker) is better than a member of the other team.
Which has absolutely fuck-all with Tucker’s status. What point are you trying to make?
I don’t think he’s sitting because he’s hurt. I think if there were any takers, he would have been traded.
U FOO!
Do you get tin foil at Costco?
You’re insane.
No. They are better because they outscore the other team.
RMPL.
I am insane. I’ve also fouled a ball of my shin. 3 months is ridiculous.
Mr. Madison, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
