Daily News | Phillies rout Angels 10-0 and hit five homers in interim manager Rob Thomson’s first game
Bryson Stott stutter-stepped across home plate. He gave a two-handed high five to Alec Bohm and elbow-bashed with Kyle Schwarber. Then, as Stott walked down into the dugout, he was met by Rhys Hoskins, arms aloft and jumping up and down.So, maybe it was all a coincidence. Or at least a confluence of events.
because president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski decided to dump Girardi. “A lot of it is coming off the off-day [Thursday]. Part of it is those three kids at the bottom of the lineup. They really spice things up. All in all, it was a good day.” It will be weeks, maybe months, before we know whether the Phillies’ first in-season managerial change since 2015 is the defibrillator that shocks them back into playoff contention. More likely it will come down to other factors, such as shoring up baseball’s worst defense and protecting more late-inning leads.
“We need to be a good hitting club,” Dombrowski said earlier in the day. “That’s how we’re put together. We’re a top-10 team in the league. I think we can be better than that. That’s how we were constructed.”Stott, whose first homer came in his 83rd major-league plate appearance, traded a bat and two signed baseballs to retrieve his first home-run ball, which he said he will almost certainly give to his mom.
“I haven’t had anything with my shoulder ever, so I really have no idea,” said Maton, called up from triple A earlier in the week. “I don’t think it came out [of joint]. It’s painful, but we’ll work on it.” “They’re doing a phenomenal job,” Schwarber said. “It’s kind of refreshing to see how these young guys are coming in. They’re just stepping up right away.”Mike Trout returns to Philly an MVP contender yet again and a big fan of the Eagles draftThe Phillies’ defensive struggles are well-documented. But they played a clean, crisp game for Thomson, even mixing in a few highlight-reel plays.
