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

And you said, looking out for the Phillies, are you concerned about Bryce Harper and Kyle Schorber?

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

I am.

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

I'm more concerned about Christopher Sanchez and Jesus Lizardo.

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

I'm more concerned about their stable left-handed pitching that have proven to be so huge for that Phillies rotation over the last couple of years.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

They'll be a tough task.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Yeah, I mean, I think Michael Bush got the reset yesterday.

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

I'm not saying he'll play all three games, but I wouldn't be shocked if he starts two of the three.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

I think you need to have your first baseman who had 30-plus home runs in the lineup whenever you can, especially with this depth of the Cubs.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

You don't have your backup first baseman in Tyler Austin who you expected to hit against left-handed pitching.

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

He's out with a knee injury.

Matt Shaw is doing his best to learn a new position, but

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Yeah, I think the way that the Cubs go, that their best offensive nine is when Michael Bush is in the lineup against righties and against lefties.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

So I would expect him to be in the lineup for the majority of the series.

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

Yeah, I mean, I think it's aligned with his big league performance throughout his entire career.

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

He just gets outs.

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

I mean, if you look at his numbers throughout his entire professional career, it's a sub-4 ERA.

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

He throws a good percentage of strikes.

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

He doesn't walk that many guys.

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

He's a guy who pitches to contact, but he's a gamer.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

And I think that Javier Assad is a big league pitcher in any capacity, but as a starter where you know that you're going to get consistency from a guy like that at the back end of your rotation.
