MoonyGray 104 Posted June 7 STUD. Adding him after he was dropped hehe. Â He doesn't always sit against lefties, he just hits lower in the lineup. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrankLilly 4 Posted June 7 (edited) Idk he’s hitting 278 vs lefties. 742 ops. Sure he’s better power wise vs righties but that’s not that bad. He really has no business being a platoon player. Edited June 7 by FrankLilly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonny_D 1,666 Posted June 7 (edited) He’s not a platoon guy, much like Meadows. He’s usually dropped to 6th or 7th against leftys. I think today was just an opportunity to get him a day off especially against a very tough lefty in Boyd.  He’ll probably hit a pinch hit homer in the later innings. Edited June 7 by Sonny_D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ty5592 229 Posted June 7 He’s started 53/61 games I wouldn’t call that a platoon player. That’s 140 starts for a whole year Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

knuckleheads 469 Posted June 19 Geez, he's been amazing lately and solely responsible for today's win.  Not even starting but ends up going 3-5 with a walk, a game tying homer in the 13th and the game winning hit (would have been a double) later in the 17th.  Lots of surprise stories out there this year and Kapler is shaping up to be one of the best ones...  1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
