Phillies

heres how bad their system is. mookie betts is probably going to be traded and the phillies cant even get into the bidding because their best prospect is a 3B with no range and serious contact issues.

gabe not being fired yet is not a good sign

what exactly does Andy MacFail do anyway?

[Don Ho]

Chris Young out as pitching coach.  You show um' Mr. Middleton!  That'll shake shtein up.  Bullpen was made out of paper mac he an rubber bands, "Ace" who fizzled down the stretch, an old beat down crustacean behind him, couple clowns who stunk 99% of the time and one dude who was OK (yes Efflin).  You were lucky to win 82.

the only thing i wont bash the phillies on this year is the bullpen construction...i wont blame injuries on the front office unless they signed all guys who had massive injury histories

the amount of shtein that happened to the pen this year was sports

over the last 2 years they spent big money on 3 old white relievers

all 3 got hurt

Now make the right call in naming the replacement.

Showalter ain't it.

this will make the blockheads happy, and its fine, kapler was a garbage manager

but there are 1000 things wrong the phillies beyond who the manager is. hiring raul ibanez or some crotchety old fart that gets angelo's seal of approval wont change any of that. they are a lightyear away from the braves/nats.
