August 12Aug 12 Again, these are the slashes for Arraez 1-4 in the lineup. He has 200 PA at 4 hole. He is considerably worse, hitting cleanup than any other spot in the top of the order. Yet the Phillies think they’re smarter than everybody else to keep using him there when that’s not his best place in the order. And it’s shown over the course of time.

And when you did call him up the first time you didn’t even really use him. And throwing him into the heart of the Cardinals lineup in a high leverage situation. Frankly, if he was up in June like he probably should’ve been then you worked with him to get him to that point it makes a lot more sense. But then again the Phillies do things like this all the time. Crawford last year who was completely ready and just avoided doing it when they badly needed OF help. Also Mattingly is a crappy manager in terms of making pitching decisions. He’s hurt them at least 6-7 times since July 1 with just poorly planned pitching changes. It’s why i rather have made Cotham the interim. If Cora doesn’t take this job then I’m guessing Cotham is in the group for it. I didn’t think Mattingly should’ve gotten it. with Cotham you would’ve gotten some knowledge of what he could be as a manager so that if Cora rejected you again, you would have some knowledge on what he showed with this team.
August 12Aug 12 27th time this team with a 330 million dollar payroll has been held to 0 or 1 run this season. Only the A's have more.

August 12Aug 12 Wheeler talking all that crap about being disrespected by the all star snub, and has pitched like crap ever since. Way to prove em wrong zach!
August 13Aug 13 Fire DD, Kevin Long, and Mattingly into the sun. If Schwarber loves Long so much he can hire him back on the side to continue to teach him how to not get on base for extended periods of time. And shitcan whoever comes up with these crappy lineups too.

And shitcan whoever comes up with these crappy lineups too.They really need a clean house from Dombrowskito the entire front office to the coaching staff at all 4 levels. But I said last year when everybody just wanted to fire Thomson as he was the biggest issue. Thomson should’ve been replaced. Imo Dave was always the biggest issue. Hes the architect of the roster that’s routinely 2 arms short in the bullpen besides 2024 and a lineup that’s needed a middle of the order RH bat and an outfield that’s always one of the worse. Dombrowski wastes ton of money and was relatively content on the roster being good enough and running it back. He’s been given the most resources of any Phillies GM in Phillies history. there is like a third of this roster that he is paying and guys do not here that’s hurting this team. Then when you add his guys in the front office and their drafting/development is also not very good. So normally wasting money, his draft and development hasn’t been good enough.The biggest problem, the Phillies have always had in their history is development of players. But also when they have success, they don’t know when to see the writing on the wall to start the next era. This screamed at the deadline that this era of Phillies baseball was over. The window had shut. And yet instead of either going all in and trying to fix all their problems or being a seller. They went half assed again. You couldn’t do that because you weren’t good enough to go half ass and still wind up making the playoffs and winning the World Series. Now they might not even make the playoffs cause there’s September is brutal and they can’t beat anybody except for the Orioles and the nationals.
