00:00Since Don Mattingly took over as manager of the Phillies, their record is 27-12.
00:08And I was trying to find a way to put that in perspective.
00:11So let's say opening day had been that day, the day that they changed managers.
00:19If that had been opening day, the first day of the season,
00:22then 27-12 would be tied for the third-best start by any Phillies team since 1900.
00:32How about that?
00:33The 1976 Phillies started 29-10.
00:37They won 101 games.
00:39The 93 Phillies, who went to the World Series, they started 28-11.
00:43And 27-12 would be tied with the 2024 Phillies for number three.
00:50That team won 95.
00:51This would be way more wins than 2008 and 1980 when they won the World Series.
00:58So it's funny, isn't it?
01:00Because if you listen to a lot of people around here talk about this team,
01:05which is what you guys do all day, you'd think, they're not that good.
01:09And look, they're flawed.
01:12They're hard to watch sometimes.
01:14But they win a lot, or at least they have won a lot since Don Mattingly took over.
