Extreme Philly Sports Forum

        I'm curious to see how everyone feels about this .  Personally, I hope the SCUMBAG owner chokes on his opening day dinner.   Another Greedy piece of Crap.

 Phillies will continue to be average & the two main reasons are the so called great hitting & a managerwho plays with the lineup all the time & has no clue about making a lineup that covers all the bases. Speed, power, consistent contact, bunting, stolen bases, and much more. Stot should be hitting lead off. The OLD OVERPRICED Ctcher needs to hit 8th. Crawford ninth. Also, the STUPID manager needs to learn small ball & also to leave a set lineup alone. The best thing for the team is for the Manager to be let go. Then we will see a steady lineup & only then. Why else do you think they hired their new bench coach ? They will use Thomas as their scapegoat when the team is treading 500 baseball. Now, my lineup for starting day
          1- Stott
          2 - Bohn
          3- Harper
         4 - Schwarber
         5 - Garcia
         6 -Marsh/ Kemp
         7 - Turner
         8 - Realmuto
         9 - Crawford
       
         

The Phillies are now done. pu ta fork in them. Now they sign their OLD catcher to a way overpriced contract. Apparently Dumbrowski thinks that makes up for all his screwups since he's been here. As I have said on here before, the moves & non moves, him & his clueless owner have made & not made have ruined this team. FOR EXAMPLE--- the trade of their bullpenn pitcher, Their extension of their clueless manager, their non firing of their hitting coach & their clueless manager, the third contract of 10 mil. for another outfield reclimation project, thinking that a third time might be a charm. Now, the overpriced signing of a fast declining catcher. The good old boy network continues & will never get better untill the owner & President are both gone.      Bring back Gene Mauch & the 64 Phillies. Even they could beat this team. Oh & I forgot about the " It's all bout me first baseman who did nothing last year, but the IDIOTS upstairs still think he's wrh 30 plus million a year.

  I blame the so called manger quite a bit for alot of the problems with this team, but he is not quite th only one. The hitting coach has not done a good job either over the last 2 years. Also, being thrown in & out of the lineup does not help. This Manager is the worse I haveevr seen in my years of baseball.  To bad we can't bring back Gene Mauch in his prime. He has ruined morethn one player on this team.

 This clueless, so called manager should of been let go last year along with his so called hitting coach. The list is way to long for me to put it all up, but here are a few things, No discipline, lack of putting a lineup together, not knowing how to use your bullpen, worst chase rate over the last couple yrs. Does not know small ball or even when it's needed. He has cost this team at least 10 to 12 wins each year with his dumb moves, his non moves & his lack of knowing when to do what is needed in certain situations. In all, it is called the good old boy network &  the lack of baseball knowledge by an owner to know he needs to fire people.
