Rightfully so. The last month has been managed poorly and really makes me question Kapler’s future. I understand analytics, but momentum and the mental part of baseball also has an effect. Continually shuffling the lineup and bullpen roles has a psychological effect on players. I think Kapler overthinks things

Also Klentak missed a golden opportunity to get a playoff tested veteran familiar with Philly in the cheap. Having Hamels in the rotation might have won us an extra 2 or 3 games.

Hoskins strikes again. Why anyone thought putting him in left field was a good idea is something I’ll never understand.

Didn't look like Hoskins made much effort to get to that last bloop hit to left. He seemed to stand there waiting for it to bounce. At least he stayed back so that it wouldn't hit him.

I can almost feel the negative energy around this team when they play the Mets.

ButlerBulldog 2018-09-09 00:40:17 UTC #70

Completely agree with this. Players have to be able to settle into defined roles, which isn’t possible under Kapler, who keeps moving people all over the lineup and in and out of the lineup. I understand what he’s trying to do, but he’s actually making things harder by micromanaging every aspect of the game. At some point, he needs to just let the nine best players play and stay out of the way.

I don’t think Hoskins reads the ball off the bat well in the outfield, which isn’t surprising, as he’d never played there fulltime before this season.
