00:00but is this really about rob thompson or is this about saying to the players you're not always
00:04going to get what you want now unless you perform time to perform yeah time to show up now you're
00:12right on the money with this because i wanted to see them do this i said it yesterday on the
00:17show
00:17i didn't want to just see a half measure of moving on from the hitting coach or the pitching coach
00:22i wanted to see them relieve rob thompson for that very reason i wanted it to be a wake-up
00:27call
00:28to the players which is the largest payroll in franchise history it's the fifth highest in
00:34major league baseball but the largest payroll in the phillies franchise history and listen to some
00:39of these numbers ricky we all know they're 9 and 19 right they've had to roll out 21 different batting
00:45orders in 28 games that's on dombrowski not rob thompson because he can't figure out how to use
00:50these guys who are all struggling right they're a minus 54 run differential which is not only the
00:55worst in baseball the closest to them is a minus 28 like they are almost double worse run differential
01:02than the second worst team they're 28th and run scored 28th and hits 29th and batting average 29th
01:09and obp 27th and slug 29th and ops all right but it's not just the offense they're 28th and era
01:1629th and whip 30th in opponent batting average and when you just look at the starting rotation
01:23a starting rotation that was number one in innings pitch last season is 22nd right now number two in
01:31era from your starters last season last in major league baseball at 30 and the fielding has been
01:38shoddy at best as well so when you look at all of that you can't fire everybody on the team
01:43you
01:44can't get rid of all these players but ultimately it's their fault and they got to look themselves in
01:48the mirror like ricky said and realize this guy rob thompson who has always fallen on the sword for
01:54us who has always stuck up for us now is without a job even though he has the highest winning
02:00percentage
02:01in franchise history because of us
02:03you
02:04you
02:07you
