He’s been awful as a manager prior. Phillies knew this. Frankly it feels like he got it cause his son and mlb tends to hire bench coach as interim. It should’ve been Cotham. Been here 6 years and helped build the staff. Add on he knows the rotation and BP better than anyone so he’d know how to utilize it better

Dave has no feel for anything.

But it's still shocking to me how you play for that long at that level and didn't pick up anything

No Hitter tomorrow

Moral of the series for tomorrow....don't be up in the 8th

What Painter did today is why I wanted them to have Wood on the roster. He's pitched in big games and is better than the crap they have.

He’s not ready. He had some issues in double. Stuff is really good but his control isn’t all there yet and he has a tendency to be wild. Really if Bowlan didn’t get hurt and overworked prior to September they’d have been much better off

Painter was awesome today. Showed us all a lot. If, and I know it's a big if, they somehow win tomorrow, it's nice to know that he can either start or give the bullpen 2-3 innings. That flexibility is huge in the playoffs.
