J.P. Crawford has a cold. At least that’s how Phillies manager Gabe Kapler described the shortstop’s five errors this season.
“It’s not always something you have to work on. Sometimes it’s just like a cold. You have to let the cold run out,” Kapler said. “There’s not always the medicine that you give somebody. The cold just has to run its course. Sometimes some last longer than others. Streaks of not getting hits last longer than others. And some are prolonged because you put a little additional pressure on yourself. With J.P., it’s just a matter of time of him getting into his rhythm.
