Frankly they waited to long to fire him. It should’ve been like 2 weeks prior. But their bullpen was awful then and it wasn’t all girardi sending guys out there. Like knebel and Alvarado were god awful. Both have been way better since June. Also realmuto has remembered how to play. Was a time I’d argue he wasn’t even a top 5 catcher with his fielding and hitting. Manager definitely a big time help turn it around with a different message. Also some guys were crap and turned the corner.

Realmuto’s splits from before and after the All-Star break (from Yahoo splits)

It wasnt just the hitting with realmuto early on. He had games fielding where he dropped pop ups that cost the Phillies. He completely turned it around and looks like one of the best players in the game over the last month plus.

August 11, 20224 yr Record through 110 games vs all World Series teams since 1980: 2022: 62-48 2009: 62-48 2008: 60-50 1993: 69-41 1983: 58-51-1 1980: 57-53

August 11, 20224 yr When crap like that happens where a ball hits off Leblanc’s glove and goes right to Rojas and you get thrown out it might not be your day.
August 11, 20224 yr Probably should’ve removed gibson after the two singles. Leaving him in cost them 2 runs.

August 11, 20224 yr What the F is it with the Phillies and bases loaded with no outs and they fail to score. Feels like every time they do that this season they don’t score.
August 11, 20224 yr Sosa screwed up everything with his at-bat. He takes the walk instead of swinging at ball 4, it's 3-1 then who knows what happens.

Frankly it was a bad managerial move to do it. First sosa has been awful with the bat all year and stubbs has been very clutch for us when given the chance. Second by making that move the Phillies lose their DH if the game goes extras. It was a bad decision to have sosa bat

It was a bad decision to have sosa bat Certainly agree there. If you're gonna take out Stubbs for a PH, at least make sure it's someone who is a threat with the bat. Sosa isn't that in the least. Sometimes these Managers get enamored with the lefty/ righty matchup a little too much instead of just going with the better batter, and in this case it was Stubbs.

What makes it worse is that stubbs and sosa splits tell you stubbs is the hitter you want. Against a lefty, stubbs is batting .313 and against righties .259. Sosa is hitting .240 vs. righties and .111 vs. lefties. So stubbs either way was the better option. Add on you lose the DH in extras due to the move. Love Thomson but this was an overthinking managerial decision
August 11, 20224 yr F calf strains can take forever. He’s gonna have to DH if he plays until it gets better

I really hope he learned his lesson. Never again do I want to see Sosa up with the game on the line.
