Gabe Kapler: 'We're Gonna Go After It In 2018'

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Gabe Kapler oozes with confidence and conviction.

The new 42-year-old Phillies manager joined Angelo Cataldi and the 94WIP Morning Show in-studio for the first time on Thursday morning.

When asked about the timeline of success and expectations, Kapler says he expects to win right away.

"We're going to create a winning environment in the clubhouse, one that is fertile for growth and one that is fertile for development. And we're gonna kick some a**."

Kapler spoke highly of Rhys Hoskins, who burst onto the scene last season as a rookie.

And as for keeping Odubel Herrera engaged, Kapler says he will call Herrera out -- or any player for that matter -- who isn't giving 100-percent.
