As of now, 2023 has been a rollercoaster of a season for almost all MLB teams. Many players and teams have played underwhelming baseball and defied expectations. Philadelphia Phillies star Trea Turner is one of the players who is yet to display his best version in the ballparks this season. But in their most recent game, the Phillies shortstop played an important role and helped the Phillies pick up a crucial win.
Turner has struggled with the bat this season, after an All-Star season in 2022. He signed a $300 million deal with the Phillies and has looked out of form thus far. But in the team’s most recent game, he played an important role and was involved in a hilarious incident afterward.

In the video, Turner said, “God, I hate these kids! I hate you guys so much.” He then said, “Get it over with” as the two poured water on him. But throughout the interaction, he had an expression of mock anger on his face. It was truly a nice moment after a hard-fought win.

It will be interesting to see how the Phillies perform over the coming weeks as they attempt to climb the NL East. Furthermore, they will look to make a deep run in the postseason this year, building on 2022’s success. Turner will be crucial to this, with his batting talent and overall All-Star impact.
Turner’s poor form is unexpected
Considering how he played last season, it is surprising to see Trea Turner struggle with the bat. Furthermore, he played excellent baseball during the World Baseball Classic, excelling with Team USA. But as the MLB season has progressed, he has failed to play well on a consistent basis. But only time will tell if he is able to get out of this rut and back to his best form.
