Outside The Confines: On Justin Turner and Tony La Russa

When we posted Outside The Confines on Wednesday, the biggest story of Tuesday night snuck by until the morning, but certainly doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be discussed, and it’s one of the two big stories about bad decisions this week.

On Tuesday night as the Dodgers celebrated their first win in 32 years, the events were tainted by the news that Justin Turner had left the game in the eighth inning due to a late-arriving positive COVID test. While plenty of questions linger about how it took so long for MLB to get the results, or why Turner was allowed to play with an inconclusive test result, everything else paled in comparison to what followed.
