The Phillies offense continued to sputter at the plate Saturday against the Red Sox.
“It’s totally different,” he explained. “Any time you mess a hand up, it’s really tough to get back from something like that. I’ve never gone through the Tommy John thing, so I’m not sure how it’s going affect me as I get going. But I’d imagine it’s going to take me a minute to find some timing or pitch selection or things like that. Pitch selection is going to be huge for me. So the more and more you play, the better you usually get.
When Thomson took over as Phillies manager last June his predecessor, Joe Girardi, had used six different leadoff hitters in 51 games. How’d that work out? Well, Girardi was fired at that point, so. . . To the pregame observation that the Phillies need to get more production from the top of the order, the manager quickly responded, “And we will. We’ll also get production out of our two hitter and our three hitter and our four hitter. It’s coming. Trust me.”
Here’s the case for continuing to bat Schwarber first: He’s historically a slow starter: .215 in March-April and .192 in May. Thomson said that’s where he feels most comfortable in the order.
