The Phillies’ manager is under fire after the NLCS collapse.
It’s hard to believe that the Philadelphia Phillies didn’t win the National League Championship Series.
They were up 2-0, held a late lead in Games 3 and 4 before losing both, and then came back home up 3-2.
But, just like in 2022, the Phillies were eliminated from the postseason in brutal fashion.
After losing the NLCS, Philadelphia’s manager Rob Thomson has started to take some major criticism.
Much of the heat comes from his resistance to change the batting order despite players struggling, poor bullpen strategy and the lack of aggressive pinch-hitting.
Whether all of this is justified or not is inconsequential at the moment.
The Phillies find themselves in the same place as they were last offseason.
Figuring out how they can get their team with a massive payroll to bring home the World Series title.
Thomson is certainly not above blame in this series.
