LOS ANGELES — The latest attempt to resuscitate the worst season of Kyle Tucker’s career came before he even took a swing against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.The first season of Tucker’s four-year, $240 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers has been an unqualified disappointment. Still, as he took his first at-bat against Pirates starter Bubba Chandler, the Dodger Stadium crowd largely cheered. Some stood and applauded, hoping to ignite Tucker’s quiet bat. They cheered when he went out to catch the first pitch. And again when his name came up in pregame introductions. And again when Tucker made a running catch to end the top of the first inning.Nothing has worked this season. Maybe some positive affirmations could do the trick.Anything is worth a shot at this point for Tucker, who started the night by hitting a 103 mph groundout to first base in the second inning and working a full count before taking a walk in the third. He entered the game with a .694 OPS, the worst mark of his career, and ranked 115th among qualified hitters with a 95 wRC+. His widespread woes, from his seeming inability to hit at Dodger Stadium to dropping a pair of fly balls in a week, have led people from manager Dave Roberts to the team’s own broadcast to wonder how much the struggles were weighing on Tucker mentally.
