Dodgers’ Justin Turner: ‘I’m Still A Young Guy’
Richard Mackson/USA TODAY SportsAs Alex Verdugo was beginning to assert himself with the Los Angeles Dodgers this season, he created a ‘Don’t let the kid get hot!’ rallying cry. Verdugo then applied it to other rookies and youngsters as the Dodgers received contributions throughout their roster.
When Russell Martin delivered a walk-off hit against the St. Louis Cardinals last month, he hijacked Verdugo’s saying. “Let the old guys get hot, too, you know?” the 36-year-old quipped. That was exactly what transpired Tuesday night against the Colorado Rockies.
