Reaction to Brice Turang Moving Down the Batting Order
There is certainly a decent reaction to the to of the order mainstay getting bumped down.
“Brice Turang dropped to sixth in today’s lineup. Pat Murphy this afternoon on if the knee is affecting him at the plate:
“He’s affected, but it all comes down guys go through ups and downs every season. Remember 2 weeks ago when we were panicked about Yelich?”
Another user on X had this to say about the lineup:
“Having David Hamilton in the lineup everyday is enough to make you wanna send a pitchfork through your foot. Not seeing Joey O in there is crazy. Stick with who’s been productive, and Hamilton has not been that. Not even close.”
So while people understand that Turang had to drop down, some people believe other changes needed to happen.
