BEAST

[squally1313]

I love him so, so much

[Hot Sauce]

Bring him home! 

[UMFan83]

Lmao that might be the worst AB I’ve seen all year

[chibears55]

Fuk Swanson at least get him to third, that a big run out there at this point in game. 

Let Go

[BigSlick]

I don't want to pick on Swanson too much because he's been really good and has been moderately better with runners in scoring position lately but that was the worst at bat with a runner on 2nd I've ever seen (by a guy who can actually hit, and not like, a pitcher) 

[UMFan83]

Let’s see what our RHH option can do here

[BigSlick]

Guys I'm not sure Justin Turner is actually a Major League player anymore

We have at least 2 guys on the regular roster who I'm not positive should be in the Major Leagues, surely we can do something about that

[Bobson Dugnutt]

Lmao Boog

[Hot Sauce]

PCA knows if he’s gonna cross the plate this inning he’s gonna have to do it himself.

[chibears55]

How about another WP or steal home

Turner and Brujan? And if Berti is a major leaguer he’s a 26th man at best imo

[Geographyhater8888]

Disgusting and so predictable.

[PeanutPunch33]

Getting 8 hits vs Crochet is great, but getting 1 run out of that kinda sucks 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Turner is useless against elite LHP, he might steal a hit or two against a junkballer but there is no reason for him starting over Busch

[UMFan83]

Sorry I’m gonna be that “so glad we didn’t have Busch up there to look horrible while striking out” guy

[Derwood]

Turner is brutal. Anyone arguing he's a better choice than Busch needs to reevaluate their fandom

[chibears55]

Yep, those were 3 awesome AB by Turner, I can see why Busch needed to sit this one out. 🙄🙄🙄

[Eeyore]

Good thing Turner is out there

Yeah I hate hate hate going against the smart heads on this forum because they almost always make logical points and explain it in a way that makes me feel stupid for thinking otherwise but I just can’t with Turner. If Turner is the other option, I want Busch

And schedule an eye exam.

I can see keeping Berti especially for the postseason roster for his ability to steal bases and baserunning.

The other two need to go yesterday, I don't want them having any part of the postseason. 

[soccer10k]

Would have been really nice to get that insurance run home.

[Geographyhater8888]

Turner can’t catch up to upper 90’s heat anymore.

[Hot Sauce]

Okay, no more lead-off walks. That’s enough!
