Former Phillies pitcher Michael Schwimer, who hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since 2012, came out swinging against his former team’s backup catcher Andrew Knapp on Twitter.
Schwimer retweeted a Phillies fan account with the impressive stats of Lehigh Valley IronPigs catcher Deivy Grullon and threw Knapp, who has struggled this year, under the bus.
Complete joke he wasn’t rule 5ed. Phillies got so lucky by not protecting. He is so much better than Knapp it’s scary. https://t.co/40ETwX8pWQ
