Dingo18287 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 After reading some recent and past articles on him, is their any possible way Phillies skipper Gabe Kapler isn't fired within 2 years? They apparently have a "sensitive bus" which is a toy yellow bus given to pitcher who gripes too much about his performance. He was also the front runner for the Dodgers HC spot a few years ago, while he was a front office employee for them, until he wasn't. Word is the players weren't too impressed with him, so the Dodgers hired Dave Roberts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ForTheThumb Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Blake Swihart is having himself a nice spring. I'm really bullish on him now that he's finally healthy. He's always had the talent. If I had to make the decision, I'd keep him on the roster instead of Leon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo18287 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Jon Lester is apparently purposely bouncing his throws to 1st base if he fields a hit/bunt. Amazing that he's mentally tough enough that he can forget a terrible pitching game in 5 days, but can't throw the ball to 1st base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will still underhand toss all the ones he can, but to balls hit to his right, he and the fielding coach have worked on a "bounce pass". Mental blocks are buggers. I actually think this is a really good outside of the box plan by the fielding coach with Lester. Rizzo is among the best in the game at picking them over at 1B, so may as well give it a chance.
