The talk of extending him is crazy. He has systematically destroyed their farm system which is almost barren without anything to show for it. The only guys on the team from the farm are generally replacement level guys like Bohm and Stott, and the acquisitions are old and expensive. If they even have a season next year, I’d be a seller if they are scuffling along as wild card hopefuls.
They have a run diff of zero after 120 games. It’s amazing they’re in wildcard contention. Nothing about this roster says they’re close to being contenders.

And it was all predictable coming into the season. They did almost nothing to upgrade an aging roster that had been declining for a few seasons.

Extending Dombrowski would be nuts. They need a different type of GM to reset and prep for their next era.

Yeah, I'm starting to think there is something in the Phils' clubhouse which can suck the offensive prowess from even the best hitters. I'm sure Arraez will be fine even after the last two games being 0-5 and 0-6. But as a fan, I've grown accustomed to hitters being wildly bipolar at the plate.

Harrison Bader seemed to do well.
