Counsell sent a message to PCA

Post by DickyBennett »

Shocked he was pinch hit for in 9th

I know he stinks against LH but Justin Turner is old and washed up

I just love it so much. I cannot stand that kid. All flash and no substance. And a little dumb, too.

I expect PCA will respond

That’s good managing in my opinion

Pretty sure Oli wouldn’t have the cajones to PH a young star player

Oli would have been bashed to no end for a move like that. Good managing my (donkey).

And I can't remember who on here said it...but he does looks like the type of kid who ate his boogers in school...

No substance? Kid is on pace for like 45 doubles, 45 sb, and 40 hr.

But his OBP is crazy low.

And to the OP:
Turner has crushed LHP this year

Not sure it was good managing. I understand putting the veteran in for the struggling kid. But if he's a 'core guy', there's an argument to ride with him.

On the other hand, kudos to oli for sticking with Jo Jo. I thought he would run to a right-hander against Turner. He didn't. It worked.

If oli has a brain, he would use a two-man closer scenario. O'Brien and Romero based on late game matchups.

Hes had a great season. But the law of averages seem to be catching up. There was little chance his b.a.b.i.p. was going to remain sky high.

Ask the Cub fans in Chicago how they felt not having PCA at the plate for that at bat. Were they lauding Counsell for the move ? I wonder .

Armstrong has an OBP of .222 against LH pitching this year.
Turner is at .345.
The move made sense.

If he were a cardinal he would be loved and there would be talk of hall of fame and red

No oli picks and chooses...he also has no issues throwing guys under the bus...
