Counsell sent a message to PCA
Shocked he was pinch hit for in 9th
I know he stinks against LH but Justin Turner is old and washed up

Re: Counsell sent a message to PCA
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

No substance? Kid is on pace for like 45 doubles, 45 sb, and 40 hr.Strummer Jones wrote: ↑10 Aug 2025 21:59 pm I just love it so much. I cannot stand that kid. All flash and no substance. And a little dumb, too.
But his OBP is crazy low.
And to the OP:
Turner has crushed LHP this year

Re: Counsell sent a message to PCA
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.

Re: Counsell sent a message to PCA
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.ecleme22 wrote: ↑10 Aug 2025 22:11 pmNo substance?

Re: Counsell sent a message to PCA
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.Baseball Savant wrote: ↑10 Aug 2025 21:57 pm Shocked he was pinch hit for in 9th

Turner is at .345.
The move made sense.
