Donny ball must go - how do you have Harper trying to steal second base rather than De Le Cruz in overtime? You still have a left hand bat available.
They might make the playoffs in spite of Donny.

I'm going to get ahead of the curve.

{Insert name of next manager} must go!

FYI, analysis indicates that the typical MLB manager makes a difference of maybe 1 to 4 games per season. Look it up on your favorite AI app if you doubt it.

7 RBIs by 7 different Phillies tonight. Don't see that everyday.
So line drive singles and doubles from multiple players works out better than swinging for the fences with a few HRs and multiple Strikeouts?

Could be a good trend. Arraez changing the Phillies offense overall?

Over a large sample size, small ball will yield fewer runs and likely fewer wins.

However, a playoff series is a different story.
