It's Kyle Tucker going back to Houston for the first time.

He is excited, but he also just kind of always seems muted, and that's okay.

If that's who he is, that's who he is.

Let's talk about the Cubs and the Astros as they get it on.

Tonight, we will have pregame coverage starting at 635 on the score in the Southwest Airlines Radio Network.

So Hohdav Sharma writes for the athletic, and he does an incredible job of it.

He joins us now on the Circa Sports Illinois Hotline.

So Hadaev, thanks so much for joining us.

Why don't we start with Kyle Tucker?

It's been a half a season, and you had spring training to kind of get to know him.

What do you know about Kyle Tucker and what might it be like for him returning to a place where he won championships?

Yeah, what you said to Harry, he's excited to return.

I immediately said, is he?

I didn't get that when I talked to him, but I completely agree with you.

He's muted.

We don't know what his emotions are because he's not one to like display them out for everyone to see.

He's a very calm individual. I think he is able to compartmentalize.

I think this is a strength, and Craig Counsel has expressed that to us. So you're not going to see

him scream and yell. If he strikes out, he's not going to freak out. If he has a hit

a home run, he's not going to thump his chest.

This is just who he is.
