Game 107 Overflow, a.k.a. the Jacob Turner Special - Angels at Tigers

What happened so far:
- Some scrub prospect named Jacob Turner got the start today. Dude’s a total bum.
- In fact, Fox decided that 2/3 of the country didn’t even need to see this Turner guy pitch. (Note: anything else listed below is purely based on circumstantial evidence given to me by Dan Dickerson, ESPN and the voices speaking Spanish in my head).
- Peter Bourjos is an evil human being. Or a very good centerfielder, take your pick. Today, those two are one and the same.
- Dan Haren is currently throwing a perfect game.
- Turner has allowed 4 stolen bases so far. Apparently he needs to work on holding runners.
- Turner has thrown 62 pitches in just 3 innings so far. Vintage Verlander.

plus he can’t actually watch the game, so it keeps him involved

is Turner pitching out of the windup even with runners on? It’s a little silly with 4 SB so far.

Ettinger got butthurt
Mario posted Fister’s stats against the AL and Ettinger was offended about the small sample size apparently.
Turner
62 pitches, 37 strikes: 60% strikes which is not terrible.
Could use some work on holding guys tho.

I'd rather he focused on the strike zone
then have him launch a pickoff throw into the stands

a simple step off the rubber
or even that hold the ball by his ear move that all Tiger pitchers seem to do would be beneficial. But it’s nice to see him throwing strikes.
just know that the Angels are going to run all day on him.

Random anecdote from a game you probably can't see:
The home plate umpire in Rays/M’s throws bullets back to the mound and I don’t think either pitcher expects it so they’re always caught off guard.
Ooo, bad pitch

False
Gus was on CBS. Though he does work with the BTN, which is 51% owned by Fox I believe.
I stand corrected.

Here is my theory...
If you want to get better at doing pushups, you do pushups. If you want to get faster, you run. If you want to get better against ML hitters, you face ML hitters….keep the kid here, he will develop. Just ask Mr. Verlander.
Innings is the issue
plus they are in a pennant race. Having him learn on the job down the stretch is different than having him learn in April and May.

But sometimes
If you’re trying to do something complicated, like throw major-league quality pitches, it’s good to be able to focus on just one component of that incredibly difficult process at once in a lower-consequence environment.
For instance, if he’s working on a third or fourth pitch, or experimenting with an arm slot change, you don’t have him do that against the Angels. You do that against Syracuse.
I would not pull Turner here
no reason to.

No idea
do you?
Hundreds of pitchers have thrown 300+ innings in a season and been fine.
As long as stamina is built up, pitchers can throw much more than they’re limited to these days, IMO
I don't care what the Chinese say, 2011 is the Year of the Tiger!
Yeah,
But that doesn’t mean you let a player that doesn’t have stamina built up throw a billion innings.

I'm certain they have JT on an innings count
even going back to spring training, including bullpen sessions, etc. In fact, an exact pitch count, probably, since innings counts are so inaccurate.

Having him learn
is better than having Penny continue to suck….I totally agree he still had things to learn and I’m sure he will, but I personally believe that people perform their best when their back is against the wall and they feel the pressure. Why wait till next year, if they make it into another pennant race, are we still going to say it is too soon? Screw that, the kid has shown, in one game at least, he is ready. Let him run with it. Afterall, Ilitch is no spring chicken…

It is just my opinion
that the kid can handle it, and there has been nothing EVER to show that Mr Penny can handle the pressure of a pennant race either. Afterall, they faced the same team this week, with virtually the same run support. Far different results. And yes, I understand it is just one game….

I just don't recall
seeing them in a world series lately….I know he is average, and maybe I have the “go big or go home” feeling right now, but I think Turner is better than Penny.

Apparently Coke is warming up
Good

Coke is up, my guess, turner gets a 100 pitch leash?

I'm watching it on Gameday, and it looked pretty good.
If it missed, it was low and Gameday has trouble with the vertical strike zone though.
by thepartybird on Jul 30, 2011 5:45 PM EDT up reply actions
It looked good live as well, but it's always hard to tell with that angle.
I thought it got the corner. Regardless, great debut for the future star.

Nope. Loss is charged to whoever is on the mound when the winning run scores.

No, it's charged to the pitcher who let the baserunner on

Turner leaves a runner on first, Coke lets him score
and the run is charged to Turner. Not fair, but that’s how it is.
