JUAN SAMUEL RUMORS & GOSSIP

Can Coaching Changes Help Improve 2013 Phillies?

When Jimy Williams resigned from the Philadelphia Phillies after the 2008 season, he left a void that the team has felt since. Williams was a big part of the strategy decisions made during games and helped Charlie Manual bring a World Championship to Philadelphia. Since 2008, the caliber of coaches in the Phillies dugout has declined as has the team’s success, especially in the...

Baserunner runs into his own coach

We’ve all seen base runners make a wide turn when they round third but this is ridiculous! Not sure if Hunter Pence or 3rd base coach Juan Samuel is to blame for the awkward fiasco that took place at Citizens Bank Field on Saturday night, but I have never seen this happen before in all [...]

Hunter Pence runs over third base coach Juan Samuel (Video)

Hunter Pence hilariously ran over Phillies third base coach Juan Samuel while trying to score from second on a double by Juan Pierre during Saturday’s game against the Braves. Pence didn’t loop out before rounding the bag like players are taught, and he was so wide of the base line that he ended up running into Samuel and bowling the coach over. Samuel stood with his hat knocked...

Snapshots from the 1980s: Juan Samuel

Editor’s note: This previously unpublished interview was conducted in 2008. Juan Samuel wasn’t the best second baseman of the 1980s, but he was definitely among the most exciting. The former Phillie was erratic in the field and he put up some scarily-bad BB/K rates, but he logged a healthy number of extra-base hits and he ran the bases with abandon. He also had some notable teammates...
