Joe Girardi fired as Phillies manager | Live Stream

The manager is the least of this organizations problem. They’re a mess from top to bottom. Best thing they can do now is trade Harper so his career isn’t a complete waste

[@RayBecker]

In the last ten years, the Phillies have produced ONE homegrown talent; Nola. Hoskins is erratic and basically serviceable. Segura; FA. Gregorius; FA. Bohm will be a bust. Outfield is a joke. You don't sign a Harper unless you have other young pieces in place. Realmuto; FA. Pitching Staff is at best, AAA save Nola and Wheeler. Then they go out and throw money at Castellanos and Schwarber? The Phillies lack pitching, fielding, situational hitting and energy. The moves of the last five to six years will set them back a Decade. The Farm System is crap. The best part of the Phillies organization is the grounds crew and the mascot. This from a lifetime phan; born and raised in the Philly area and turning 59 this year. Middleton is the only bright spot, assuming he will blow up the whole thing and do a complete rebuild. A number of the veteran players are not even trade material due to the ridiculous contracts. The lesson here is that you can't throw money at free agents and fix your ballclub. It all begins with Scouting. Eyeballs at high school and College. The Phillies are very proactive with Latin American players but there is no fruit at the Major League level. Press the detonator and start over. In the meantime, look for five more years of mediocrity.

I knew this was coming, though I didn’t think it would be so soon. The Phillies have too much talent to be underachieving like this

But I guess something changed for the better

[@aa697]

Dombrowski is not competent in my opinion. He relies on spending tons of money on free agents who usually do not work out.

As a Braves fan,you have to get a minor league system in place and draft good players. Have good scouts and develop players

[@Jgriffy]

As a sports fan, no shit.

[@mikestevens5512]

You are correct. The Phillies had a talent Recognition problem for years. They over estimated players for years. The other problem was poor player development. On top of players not performing when they Made the big team. They left and teams like Oakland A's, SF Giants would make them stars.

[@cwc8979]

Has anyone noticed that Dave Dombrowski hasn’t done NOTHING without Jim Leyland? Phillies should FIRE him too, I can’t stand him…..No manager could win with this Team

[@julianc6863]

Lol dude are you clueless????. He won in Boston

[@NeumsFor9]

He left Boston bankrupt, but they did win and they had a good farm system and they won again. Andrew Painter is a really good draft pick, so I can't complain there. Middleton knew Dombrowski can win both ways, but I was a little surprised when we went with Dombrowski......there are no shortcuts......and it seemed like a shortcut. Also, Dombrowski built a nice team in Detroit. They guy knows how to build winners in more than 1 way.

[@scottaznavourian3720]

@@NeumsFor9 he didn't bankrupt us our owners are cheap all of a sudden. He was here for less then 4 years...3 divisor titles one world series...made a few bad decisions after winning a world title and didn't even get a year grace period...now he has yet another team in the world series

[@NeumsFor9]

He knows how to get there in more than one way, but that Sale contract.....woooooof. That sudden but shallow cheapness = Lux tax. Gotta think a little harder before before parting with that extra money. I get it. They did well.

I checked some texts to my friends when they signed Schwarber and Casty. My first reaction: "What are we going to do.....subcontract out the defense?!"😂😂. Guess it didn't matter in the end.....

[@clachapelle]

I am a Braves fan so I have no dog in this fight, but I lost SO MUCH respect for Joe last season when he got into it with Max Scherzer...............

[@Afrocentricpoet]

No defense no relief pitching same every year. Did u really think your offense would carry the whole season. The starters are decent but u cant win without good relief pitching an defense. This dude built this team. There minor league is also bad. Been a phillies fan since the Connie mack stadium days. This isn't the worst I've seen it's just a indifferent team

[@jamescarter5042]

Unfortunately the Phillies can not fire25 players. The take the easy way out by firing one manager

[@TitoAlvarado16]

Pitching wins games. Offense wins statistics. Point, blank, period.

[@toxicmoldmedia]

it was obvious the Philies just didn't like Girardi.. Girardi's passion for coaching left him when he wasn't with the yankees anymore.. Now its obvious it's just a "job" to him.. it's clear the way to players like Segura reacted to him when he came at him the one day...they just don't like him. Hopefully now its a breath a fresh air for them to play the game and not worry about little Girardi's analyzations.

[@gregmisener802]

Wishing Rob all the best! There is no magic in baseball. Just a lot of skill and hard work. Hopefully the team will look at this as a defining time to turn the page.

Thoughts now

[@DMalltheway]

It’s the same old crap from Dombrowski, not having any sort of decent relief pitching and horrible defense. The tools weren’t there to help Girardi succeed.

[@pmmcrobb]

You win the World Series by doing one of two things. You either buy a bunch of the right, good players, like the Dodgers. Or you homegrow talent and bring in players to fill the gaps, like the ‘08 Phillies. The Phillies did neither. They bought the wrong players, and had no homegrown talent to fill in around. And then they brought in a manager who hadn’t won in a decade. And even that WS win came with such a breadth of talent that they could’ve won with any other manager.

[@yuy389]

they did something right

[@pmmcrobb]

Honestly, I highly doubt they could replicate what they just did. A bizarre 9th inning rally in the 9th inning of their first game, which basically broke the back of the Cards. Absurd offensive performances for most of the playoffs. Throughout the season they’d have these spurts of offense where they’d rattle off a win streak, and then there’d be a sudden drop off and several game rut. That’s kind of what happened here. Hit a streak from the 9th inning against the Cards until Game 4 of the World Series. And then the Astros simply wiped them away without their offense.

Ok so let's some up, Joe Girardi won a World Series and a couple division titles with the Yankees, which is probably the most difficult job in baseball, and who probably has forgotten more then Dave Dumbroski, yet Girardi is the reason that the team stinks, when its obviously the bullpen and offense that killed this team to this point, and how is it that for 30 years it seems Howard Eskin asks the best questions at these press conferences, it is amazing. Wow.
