Daily News | Matt Vierling is an unlikely TV pitchman, but he’d rather be a regular with the Phillies
“My friends see it and they’re like, ‘What the heck’s going on?’” Vierling said with a laugh this week after getting recalled from triple A Tuesday andagainst automatic Milwaukee Brewers closer Josh Hader. “I think [Bryce Harper] saw it and was like, ‘What? You’re on TV?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I guess.’ It’s pretty funny.”
But Vierling’s agent is friendly with an executive at CarShield, which is based in St. Louis, Vierling’s hometown. That was the initial connection. “I’m not an actor,” Vierling said, chuckling. “We filmed it, and yeah, now it’s on TV. It’s pretty funny.”with dozens of endorsement deals over the years. It’s fine. Vierling would be content to simply share the outfield with Harper again someday, although his path may be less direct than before.
If Vierling is on the other side now — and judging by his last week in triple A and the swing that he put on Hader’s two-strike slider Tuesday night, he may be — it’s because of a minor adjustment, as it often is. When the Phillies decided to option Vierling, then-manager Joe Girardi said they may have allowed him to work out his problems at the major-league level if other, more prominent hitters in the lineup weren’t also struggling. But the inconsistency of Kyle Schwarber, Castellanos, Hoskins, and others didn’t allow for that.
