Dodgers hire Roenicke as third-base coach to help sort out off-base running game

/ STAFF WRITER

LOS ANGELES – No team in the National League is worse at running the bases than the Dodgers, according to one metric, and Monday they took what they hope is a step toward improving in that area, replacing derided third-base coach Lorenzo Bundy with former Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke.

Bundy will retain his duties as the Dodgers’ outfield coordinator and work out of the dugout. His performance directing the team’s outfield positioning has been praised by players and coaches. As the third-base coach, it has been less so.
