Rob Thomson Reportedly Keeping his Job
Phillies manager Rob Thomson is reportedly safe, according to MLB insiders.
Despite some questionable decisions, such as the Game 2 bunt, Thomson's job is secure for 2026.
The bats were the biggest problem, considering that they mustered a whopping four hits in an elimination game.
- Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, and Kyle Schwarber went 1 for 14 in game four with four strikeouts.
- The team plated 2.3 runs per game in games 1, 2, and 4.
- The pitching staff performed well, but the hitting let the team down.
A stronger case for firing could be made for Kevin Long rather than Rob Thomson.
