[BelmontShore]

Schwarboom.

It's June, ain't it.

[BelmontShore]

8-1, Phillies.

Sanchez and Schwarber, co-players of the game.

[BelmontShore]

Rojas catches that ball.

[BelmontShore]

That's a nice bounce back win.

No drama, thoroughly done.

Sanchez was outstanding.

[Moviephreak]

Sosa should be the starting SS and Turner should be in LF.

[Skyjack]

From watching Turner run the bases, it doesn't seem that his legs are up to snuff. If he were to play the OF, IDK if his legs could handle the territory even in LF.
This game shows to me that sending down Rojas was a bad idea. Marsh booted an easy ball and didn't get to another one that Rojas would have had. JR may have botched a few balls this season but he's heads and shoulders above other CF candidates. Actually his hitting wasn't any worse than others that are still on the roster.
Rojas' play this season was tentative compared to what we saw last year. It's probably due to all of the whispering about him possibly being demoted. I don't see how sending him to LHV is going to boost his confidence. Unfortunately Rojas may end up on the scrap heap of burned out prospects a la Dom Brown, Scotty Kingery and others due to mismanagement.
