Harper at first base brings stability to the lineup — and keeps Schwarber out of left field. But they remain cautious with playing him there on consecutive days.
The Phillies haven’t had two players steal 25 or more bases in a season since Ben Revere and Jimmy Rollins in 2014.But, as the manager noted, it also reflects a shift in how the Phillies have built the roster. Early last season, they had Jean Segura at second base, Didi Gregorius at shortstop, and a Matt Vierling/Odúbel Herrera platoon in center field. Only Vierling is currently playing in the majors — with the Tigers.
Hoffman has held opponents to a .179/.286/.313 batting line with runners on base, including a .140/.271/.220 mark when they’re in scoring position. He also stranded 19 of 26 inherited runners before Bohm’s three-run error”I’d try them in later innings. Absolutely,” Thomson said. “But they’re so good in those spots, like sixth, seventh inning when we’re in a little bit of trouble and it’s a dirty inning with base runners out there. They come in and they get out of it. They’ve done a great job.
