[LoneStarPhan]

One guy gets a hit so we remove him and replace him with a guy with a 0.516 OPS. Ahh, are we trying to lose?

I agree completely. Not to mention Herrera is your 3 spot hitter. How many teams would remove the 3rd spot hitter in the middle of a game. It is moves like this that make me question the wisdom of Kapler. It has gotten to the point I wonder if he makes this moves to try and show he thinks he is smarter than everyone else even if the numbers don't show it.

Great example of what Kapler has to stop!

They need regular starters who start and finish the game. He only wants to go with a four man bench, fine. Let the regulars play. Now of course this season was over last week for the Phillies and playing it like a spring training game may be okay here, but not when the games count.

[LoneStarPhan]

Maybe Kapler's plan is to take out each player after they get a hit.

Guess the rest of the lineup is safe.
