I put Brice Turang in the same category as Aaron Judge. Puts up great numbers on paper, but never seems to come through in big situations. @MLBNetwork@TalkinBaseball_
@CBoxSports I really donβt want to blame him, but we all saw first hand what a playerβs manager does to a team with Dusty Baker. TJ Friedl is clearly off, and he refuses to take him out of the leadoff spot, thatβs on Tito, but atleast weβre not seeing Hayes everyday.

Chicago @Cubs relief pitcher Ben Brown was noticeably grabbing at his belt early in the 8th. The @reds broadcast stopped showing him between pitches after the second batter, couldnβt tell if it continued. I can tell you he threw breaking balls following both belt grabs that I saw
The @Reds seem to have an infatuation for pitchers with command issues. I love Derek Johnson, but bringing in an assistant pitching coach who specializes in helping these guys could be a massive asset.
