Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ryan Poles has high expectations for Shemar Turner (Hour 4)

So I think he really weathered the storm and he put the Cubs in a position to make a comeback in that game, and the offense did that.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Yeah, I mean, we talk so much about professional hitters, and J.D.

mentioned this on the broadcast as well.

If there was such thing as a professional pitcher, Jamison Tyle will be the professional pitcher, yo.

In spring training, he's tinkering on some stuff, but then he recognizes that, hey, we got to turn these pitches into results and buckle down.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

And once the regular season starts, he has buckled down.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

That being said, I mean, you saw the frustration that he had coming off the mound after the sixth inning.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

I don't think that he liked giving up six runs and three home runs, but he's the type of guy that you know that โ€“

Whether it's a windy day in April or it's a cold day in October, he's going to come out, give his best stuff, and be prepared.

So I think Jamison Tyone is a constant professional, and I think that he's a luxury to have in the Cubs rotation.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Well, I mean, he did make a shake-up on Sunday.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

No Michael Bush until the end of the ballgame, and he contributes with a pinch-hit RBI single, a snap, an 0-for-30 skid, and then hitting Moises Ballesteros, his young designated hitter, second.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Ultimately, pinch-hit for Miguel Amaya drew a crucial walk in the latter stages of that game, but...

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ryan Poles has high expectations for Shemar Turner (Hour 4)

Yeah, I think not having Michael Bush in the lineup against a righty on Sunday and batting Moises Ballesteros second, I think is as big of a move as you're going to see from Craig Council this early in the season.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

So I think he shuffled the lineup, and I think it paid off.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

No, and I think what Craig said at the end of that quote was it's as much mental as it is physical.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

I mean, there's a player that it doesn't matter how hard you hit the ball.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Over 30 is over 30.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Ryan Poles has high expectations for Shemar Turner (Hour 4)

You look at over 30 on the box score, and it's a mental grind.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

So it's not like he's benching Michael Bush for two days.
