Kendall "very impressed" with Turnbow - Brewers Blog

Newly acquired catcher Jason Kendall caught reliever Derrick Turnbow in Saturday's workout, the first day pitchers threw to batters and actually did a little more than just spot fastballs, and gave a glowing review to manager Ned Yost and the media.

"The ball explodes out of his hand," Kendall said Sunday morning. "He threw the ball real well. He hit his spots and he's fun to catch. I was very impressed."

Interesting, That can be only a good thing if Turnbow and Kendall really work together really good.

Turnbow out to 'prove them wrong'

PHOENIX -- Derrick Turnbow respects his new Brewers bullpen mate Eric Gagne. Likes him, even, and thinks Gagne will be a boost to the team.
But Turnbow was not exactly jumping for joy when the team inked Gagne to be its closer in December, bumping Turnbow out of that role just a week or two after team officials said they planned to restore him.

So, for the second straight spring, Turnbow is on a mission to, as he puts it, "prove them wrong."

Well, Good Let hope he can prove them wrong.

I'm sure we'll all still have our hearts in our mouths every time Turnbow takes the hill early in the season.

It's really good to see Kendall fitting in well. He's already got a plus on Estrada!
