A
day after the White Sox trotted out John Danks to get hammered, they turn to
24-year old journeyman—as in on his fourth team already—Jacob Turner, who
proceeds to give up four runs in three innings against the Royals. On the spring, Turner is 0-2 with a 10.77
ERA. He’s given up 13 hits in 7-2/3
innings.
But
is he worried? Not from the sounds of it. Turner said on the White Sox website that,
“The stuff has been pretty good, the execution has been a little disappointing
at times, especially out of the stretch I feel like.” Hmm. A
pitcher uses the stretch for when there are runners on base. Hey, I’ve got an idea! Why not allow fewer baserunners? It couldn’t hurt.
Turner
is nothing if not an optimist. He says, “A
few ball have found holes, but obviously when that happens, you have to bear
down and get the next guy out. That’s
what I’ll focus on next time.”
Why
wait?
