Rob Thomson Reportedly Keeping his Job
Phillies manager Rob Thomson is reportedly safe, according to MLB insiders.
Thomson's performance in the playoffs has been criticized, particularly the Game 2 bunt decision. However, the team's hitting was the biggest problem, with key players such as Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, and Kyle Schwarber struggling.
The bats were the biggest problem, considering that they mustered a whopping four hits in an elimination game.
The pitching staff performed well, but the team's offense was unable to produce, scoring only 2.3 runs per game in games 1, 2, and 4.
While Thomson's management of the bullpen could have been better, it is argued that hitting coach Kevin Long could have been held more accountable for the team's struggles.
Author's summary: Rob Thomson's job is safe despite playoff struggles.
