joecapMARLINS: Derrick Turnbow says his #Marlins comeback is over. Possible shoulder surgery

Even better.

I saw, the offensive lineman's knee hit his head.

[AdamRavs]

this isn't a huge loss.. actually might be a blessing in disguise considering we don't need another pitcher who needs gps to find the strike zone

[Chewford]

It's not a blessing in disguise for Turbow, in fact I think it's more like an injury.

[AdamRavs]

blessing for us and maybe him.. cause doesnt he get paid regardless now?

MILB deal. He gets, like, 100k? Money is certainly money

[AdamRavs]

hell a 100k for prolly not even making the roster is money.. plus his surgery is paid for!

Derrick Turnbow was removed in the eighth inning after hitting a batter with a pitch.
The right-handed reliever, who is trying to make the Marlins as a non-roster invitee, favored his right shoulder on a day he struggled to throw strikes.
Turnbow walked Pete Orr on four pitches, and his sixth pitch to Danny Espinosa hit the Nationals shortstop.
Twice in the inning, Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez and trainer Sean Cunningham came to the mound. The second visit, Turnbow was removed for lefty Taylor Tankersley.
Turnbow has battled shoulder tendinitis this spring.
Eight of the 10 pitches Turnbow threw were balls.

Yeah but there's still a pride thing

[AdamRavs]

Yeah but there's still a pride thing

Pride is one thing.. Being good is another.. He hasnt shown in yrs that he can actually find the zone. so a 100k and paid surgery is more than he prolly would of made this yr.

So this basically means one of McClung / Veras makes it now, right. I think all 3 were competing for the one spot we had for veteran righty setup/mopup.

[AdamRavs]

I don't mind McClung.. He is good for long relief and isn't bad in the 7th inning either. He was serviceable as a starter as well on and off the last few yrs with the Brewers.

[Bobbob1313]

McClung has been passable in a right handed Renyel Pinto way as a reliever.

[Fish and Chips]

McClung also seems like a great clubhouse guy, too.
