00:00here dave dombrowski what's your takeaway on what's going on in philadelphia hey it's april 26
00:07right now david they're 10 and a half games back it's the 26th of april and you got one of
00:14the
00:14bigger payrolls and that team was supposed to contend on the national league pennant against
00:18the dodgers what's happened in philly we were 10 games under in may of 2003 and then had the best
00:25team in baseball and won the world series it's not late it's still early it's the later part of early
00:31listening to craig breslau this morning talk about 135 games left to get it right of course that's
00:37page one of the i just fired my manager playbook and i don't want the owner to think that i
00:42stink
00:42so that's very normal dave dombrowski has an interesting situation because his owner john
00:48middleton his jewelry is zero maybe a wedding ring and an aura ring that's it and so and and
00:57they ran it back oh wait a minute and they've been a good regular season team if not great
01:04and not really gotten it done in the postseason and they look old and you don't get young when
01:11you change out your manager however dave dombrowski is gonna have no choice he's gonna have no place
01:17to hide if the phillies continue to be in this position over the next two to three weeks and i
01:22would expect them to make a change they've got don mattingly there right now he would be a perfect
01:28manager for them alex core is now available he's got a relationship with dave dombrowski though if i
01:35were alex i would certainly want to take a couple months off and and and because he's going to be
01:39very
01:40wanted this off season so i think there will be changes in philly if they cannot have a successful
01:47run in october david a minute here did the red sox did they overreact by firing alex core
01:54no it's it wasn't breslau's guy so listen breslau his view is i better do what i do because i
02:03think i'm
02:03so good at what i do and john henry likes me and oh god our roster's flawed and we stink
02:09so what do
02:10we do you fire the manager that's page one on the deflection playbook but now page two is there's
02:17nowhere else to turn so if the red sox don't turn it around that's on him absolutely here 30 seconds
02:23the mets what are you making the mets here man i mean where are they going yeah that's the same
02:29as
02:29the phillies to me if they don't turn it around steve cohn can act all cool on twitter but he's
02:34in
02:34year six of a five-year plan and when you put a team of retreads together but pay your gm
02:39you know
02:40eight figures the expectation is you're going to do it right it's early and with lindor hurt and soto
02:46back i don't think it's going to get better i think you could easily see carlos mendoza let go
02:51during the course of this season but under all scenarios he won't be back next year if they don't make
02:55the
02:55playoffs
02:56playoffs
