Ex-Phillies skipper dies

ATLANTA — Former big league manager, coach and catcher Pat Corrales has died at the age of 82.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced that Corrales died of natural causes at his home in the north Georgia mountains. He had worked with the Dodgers since 2012 as a special assistant to the general manager.

Corrales was a big league catcher over nine seasons in the majors, but he was more notable for his post-playing career.

He managed at Texas, Cleveland and Philadelphia before a long stint on the Atlanta Braves coaching staff under Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox.

Corrales was fired by the Phillies in 1983, even though the team was tied for first place in the NL East. General manager Paul Owens moved to the dugout and guided the Phillies to the World Series, where they lost to the Baltimore Orioles in five games.

Michigan OC suspended

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore will be suspended for this week’s season-opening game as part of the school’s self-imposed penalties for violating NCAA rules that also led to coach Jim Harbaugh’s punishment.

Harbaugh said Monday an analyst will be elevated to fill Moore’s spot on the staff Saturday against East Carolina. The school announced last week it decided Harbaugh would serve a three-game suspension to start the season due to NCAA recruiting infractions.

“I’ve heard people comment it’s a slap on the wrist,” Harbaugh said of the punishment. “It’s more like a baseball bat to the kneecaps.”

Michigan handed down Harbaugh’s punishment in an attempt to get out in front of potential NCAA sanctions related to an investigation of impermissible contact with recruits.

Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter will serve as head coach in the opener. Special teams coordinator Jay Harbaugh will fill his father’s role with the team in the first half of the second game while running backs coach and former Michigan star Mike Hart takes over the duties in the second half.
