Gabe Kapler has been in managerial purgatory for a little over a week since the Phillies lackluster season ended. It took quite some time, but the Phillies front office has officially come to their decision: Kapler is out. Kapler slides safely into the role of scapegoat as his firing masks the gross incompetence exhibited […]
As we dip into another week where Gabe Kapler awaits in baseball purgatory, more confusion surrounds the Phillies front office. A group that had many of their decisions go awry during the season, now starts the offseason the same way. While it’s Kapler whose job seems to be hanging in the balance, it’s Matt Klentak […]
As of this writing, the Phillies have yet to make an official decision on the future of manager Gabe Kapler despite signs of his imminent departure. I am not expecting any announcement or resolution to Phillies personnel matters today. The intrigue continues. — Jim Salisbury (@JSalisburyNBCS) October 2, 2019 The saga that has been going […]
The 2019 Philadelphia Phillies season is officially over. A season of disappointment and frustration has finally come to a merciful end. At times like this, most people like to look back on the season and try to figure out what went wrong. I have decided to look ahead and try and figure out what the […]
The first thing I’ll admit here is that I did watch the first few innings on Monday night but ONLY because MNF hadn’t started yet and I was looking for any way to ignore the lecture I was in. But that was the first game I’ve watched in weeks because that’s what the REAL fans […]
It’s not truly fall unless I’m undergoing some sort of season-ending emotional turmoil with the Phillies. I care! No I don’t! We’re going to win it all! We will never win another game! Well, everybody, by that measure, fall has officially started. Phillies GM Matt Klentak participated in interviews this week while the Phillies finished […]
Wow, this is the worst story on the topic of fans booing I can remember in SO long: I didn’t realize it until last night when I saw Rodriguez in street clothes and a duck hat, but he looks like an early Fast & Furious movie character. So there’s that. […]
Hello, this is what I tweeted after the Phillies sweep of the Red Sox. I stand here as the dumbest person alive, falling for the Phillies act again: They REALLY outdid themselves with this one. Well after the Phillies blew a 7 run lead and Vince Velasquez was removed, Ben Davis poses the question as […]
The life was gone from this team. They were dead behind the eyes while putting on a happy face. The season was pronounced dead (by me but also others probably). Then something happened maybe. They fire hitting coach John Mallee. They hire Charlie Manuel as his replacement. You may have heard of him. They put […]
Some pretty eye opening news come from the Phillies clubhouse today. Phillies make Charlie Manuel hitting coach for remainder of season and let John Mallee go. More changes to staff still being discussed — Jim Salisbury (@JSalisburyNBCS) August 13, 2019 I, for one, am shocked. Not that Charlie Manuel is back. I just […]
