CMRivdogs Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Another manager bites the dust https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/phillies-fire-manager-rob-thomson-don-mattingly/ Quote Another disappointing team has made a managerial change. The Philadelphia Phillies have fired manager Rob Thomson, the team announced Tuesday. Bench coach Don Mattingly will serve as interim manager through the end of the season. The move comes a few days after the Boston Red Sox fired longtime manager Alex Cora and most of his coaching staff. Thomson is out after a 9-19 start in which the Phillies fell 10 games below .500 for the first time since 2017. After a 1-3 start, the Phillies won five of their next six games to push their record to 6-4. Then, the losing started, including four of six before a 10-game losing streak that left them duking it out for last place in the NL East with the similarly struggling New York Mets. Twenty-eight games into the season is one of the quickest firings for a manager in recent history. Quote

But GMS's don't fire themselves. 🙄 Quote
