Episode Details

Tucker’s hitting slump is hitting rock bottom—his August OBP? A career-worst .603. After ditching his natural “arm bar” swing for a Max Muncy-style high-load approach, he’s lost timing, getting crushed by both fastballs and off-speed pitches. The new swing’s speed leaves him blind at the plate, and it’s spilling over: his baserunning and fielding have tanked too. Meanwhile, pitcher Edwin Diaz’s mechanics are unraveling—his arm angle dropping has gutted his slider’s effectiveness, letting hitters exploit his fastball. Two stars in freefall.
