It happens! Players get hurt… it’s just too bad that it is Justin Turner who went down, but if you stop and reflect… maybe it will be a blessing in disguise. Justin Turner will likely miss a month or more for the non-displaced fracture on his left hand. He could miss two months, but the blessing is three-fold:
- The Dodgers get to see how others will perform;
- They gain valuable experience; and
- JT is not as “worn down” at the end of the season.
Dave Roberts is a nice guy and does not throw at other team’s players and I am not going to advocate hitting the other teams players, but when your guy gets hit, you have to pitch inside more often… if they get hit… oh well!
