    Is Preston Tucker still the "hot hand"?

    Determining which cliche to use is so hard.

    Coming into tonight Tucker has hit 192/222/308 - 530 OPS since the date Acuna could have been called up.

    Umm, that neck has been surgically enhanced. Markakis is fine.

    That doesn't make sense. I was told Tucker was "hot", and the Braves were waiting until he was no longer "hot".

    Man, does that mean we won't know when Flaherty stops being "hot" until 20 PAs too late?

    He's the cold hand nao. Which is why I hated the "ride the hot hands" way that was seemingly taken.

    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    He still has decent year to date stats so clearly he still needs to be in the lineup.

    Surprisingly it seems we are not going that route with 3B as Joey Bats should be up soon...apparently.

    It will all be worth it just to see Bautista flip the bat after a HR, trot around the bases, and then get a fist bump from his new bff Kurt Suzuki who is waiting for him on deck haha.

    Just 1 HR JBaus, just 1...please!

    Better yet, I want to see the benches clear due to a bat flip and watch the Braves players be obligated to go out there and have his back lol.

    I guess McCarthy didn't think it was wise to just field that routine ball normally and toss the ball 50' to Suzuki standing on home plate?
