“There’s some errors out there I can live with every step of the way, and then there’s some that I definitely think can be fixed,” Turner said. “It’s up and down, up and down. I could obviously be better. But in my mind, I’m starting to learn some things and feel pretty good, feel confident.” At the plate, there are subtle signs. Turner’s nadir came on June 4, when an 0-for-5 in a victory at Washington left his batting line at .232/.276/.366 for a .642 OPS. In 41 games since then, he’s batting .270/.333/.419 . It isn’t as scorching as the summer heat, but Turner has always been known more for his consistency than pronounced streaks. He has been steady enough for manager Rob Thomson to stick with him in the No. 2 spot in the order.
Turner said he has worked with infield coach Bobby Dickerson on, among other things, improving his backhand. He was encouraged by a backhand play on Gunnar Henderson’s groundout early in Monday night’s game before the two errors.
