After an all-time reverse jinx, our fearless editor dropped a jinx-proof appreciation of Kyle Tucker’s possible breakthrough this morning. I wanted to expand on it a bit and think about what Kyle Tucker means to the team’s success in 2020.
First, Tucker isn’t going to keep hitting a triple every day. And he probably won’t have a single game that shifts his OPS northward by over 100 points. Or maybe even hit another walk off bomb. But let’s hope he doesn’t revert, for a period of weeks, to the frustrating, worst version of himself we saw three weeks ago.
