[Brandon Glick]

Jameson Taillon is back (again)... and he has to face Chris Sale. Let's hope this ends well.

Given that almost no one is hitting does it make a difference who's batting cleanup?

[We Got The Whole 9]

Cut Turner, call up Long. Stop acting like you owe him anything. Thank him for the walkoff and pep talks and move on.

Ian Happ has basically singlehandedly dragged us to a 105 team wRC in the last 14 days. I don't know....there's signs of life here:

 

That being said, this is an ugly matchup tonight and I'm all for shielding Busch and PCA to avoid them having to go through some potentially bad ABs.

If you account for park/league Justin Turner is hitting basically the same against MLB lefties as long is against AAA lefties.

Don't even have to cut him, just IL him for the year with a sore back or something.

I honestly just want new blood. I was in favor of signing Turner, but it hasn't worked. Cut bait. End the charade.

270./323./427/.750 against left handed pitching. Way better than Busch. I don’t know why this comes up every time Turner plays for Busch. He has been fine against left handed pitching. There is no charade and no reason to cut bait. But they should only use him against a lefty pitchers. He is useless otherwise.

I see what you did there

[s2obed]

Santana has pretty decent numbers against Sale (probably when he was decent) but everyone else has pretty limited AB’s against him.
