When we bring up Camargo, acuna, and gohara

[nsacpi]

Tucker has been legit awful lately.

3 for his last 20...might be trying to hard

[nsacpi]

There's no rush.

But Acuna is far more likely to be better than Tucker going forward

yeah...other than the fact that Acuna is better no reason to make a change

[thewupk]

Tucker has been legit awful lately.

Don't worry. He has good season stats overall so he's doing ok.

[thewupk]

Answer.

Hotter than Acuna? Sure.

Starting today who would you expect to hit better? Tucker or Acuna?

[Super]

i think the only argument for not calling him up is to see if tucker can be somewhat productive. it has nothing to do with either player's stats.
however, that argument is bad to me. he has a track record of being not good. he's had a few good games, but he's not good. he'll also probably get another opportunity at some point due to injury. and if he's productive off the bench, as i think he could be, then that helps him. but i think it's time to call up acuna. i think it will happen very soon.

[Super]

also he's a terrible defender. so getting him off the field and replacing with a good defender would be nice.

falls into the category of no being as good as Acuna

Or he knows replacement is right around the corner, so he’s given up on trying.

Either way, his recent play indexes effort, I’m sure.

of course. the discussion has been about tucker's "hot streak," aka lucky streak that is probably over, but the defensive upgrade alone would be worth it.

"To those hyperventilating over Acuna not being called up yet, I'd say:

1) Chill out. Not going to hurt him to spend more a bit more time.

2) Braves are 2nd in NL now in runs scored. Again, chill out.

3) Pay attention to other prospects on the farm. Exciting things happening."

Real question for me is by what date do you just say, screw it, and wait until the Super 2 cutoff (approximately after the first week of June)? We’re a long way from that now; but if Acuña’s still working on finding his groove circa mid-May, does it then become a consideration?

Yet another person who doesn't understand that from today forward the Braves are likely to play worse with Tucker in LF than Acuna. And each day that statement will be true.

It’s really point #1 that carries the water for that post.

I agree that it's not going to hurt him but it won't necessarily help him either. The Braves have a slim chance to do anything this year so any amount of time not on the big league roster likely won't effect anything.

The thing mentally challenged fans like clvderpclv don't understand is that by the time a player is determined to no longer be "hot", it's too late. By the time a guy is pulled for being "cold", he could very well be ready to be "hot" again.

This is why anyone with any clue doesn't make lineups based on who is "hot" or "cold". Clvderpclv has consistently proven beyond all doubt that he doesn't have even a semblance of a clue, so he talks about players being "hot" and "cold".

The idea is to wait for Acuna to get his swing working before being called up due to the sporadic playing time he has had lately. Whenever that is, it will probably manifest itself in a couple good games and he will appear to be "hot, but being "hot" isn't why they called him up.

Can you go 5 posts without ridiculing or insulting another poster? I mean this gets old fast. Same goes for those attacking you.

He needs an editor. There’s usually one sentence, or even clause, that could be removed to make his posts very informative and slightly snarky, but where they instead tip into barely-bridled aggression and denigration.

Completely agree. I like the info he brings but damn. It's hard to get past the other stuff.

It's the same premise as getting up and walking away from the blackjack table when you're up big, versus sticking around and giving it all back to the house.

The Braves have received a pretty nice, unexpected benefit from Flaherty and Tucker thus far. They don't need to give back all that "house money" before moving on to a smarter alternative.

Maybe they’re just killing a few hands waiting for one last free g&t from the cocktail server.
