Watch: Trea Turner immediately makes good on his Merrill Kelly comments

The timing of Turner’s home run was especially savage too. Before Tuesday’s game, Kelly made some inflammatory comments about the Phillies fanbase, indicating that he wasn’t too worried about them being too loud at the ballpark.

That drew a notable reaction from the former NL batting champion Turner, who dropped an ominous one-liner in response.

“We’ll see what he says after tonight’s game,” said Turner of Kelly, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports.

Turner then immediately made good on that remark by homering off Kelly during his very first at-bat against him in Game 2. Now we can safely say that Kelly messed around and found out.

At this point, opponents should probably know better than to start yapping about the Phillies. We already saw how that backfired during Philadelphia’s previous playoff series as well.
