The Philadelphia Phillies coach makes a bold statement regarding the current team situation.
Regarding where the team will go from here, the manager of the Philadelphia Phillies expressed his opinions
It seems impossible for the Philadelphia Phillies to consider this a “must win” ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Miami Marlins.
There appears to be no end to their spiraling.
The Phillies were only thinking about the Midsummer Classic before the All-Star break when they lost their series against the Oakland Athletics. When they had a slow start in the second half of the year, people thought it was just a regression that was going to come back soon.
Once they were embarrassed on their journey, the return home was thought to be the time when they would begin to get back on track.
However, after a dismal 5-0 loss where the offense would have been better off not going to the stadium, this team is beginning to run out of excuses prior to a complete red alert.
Everyone in the clubhouse has talked about this being a good team and that they will eventually figure things out during this entire period of long struggle. A “players only” meeting, which typically takes place during these periods when things are clear, has not yet been called.
Philadelphia has the confidence that they will emerge from this stagnation, for the time being.
In the clubhouse, everyone has said that this is a good team and that they will eventually discover things during this entire period of struggle. A meeting called “players only”, which normally happens during these times when everything is clear, has not yet been called.
Philadelphia is confident that, for the time being, they will emerge from this stagnation.
The issue is that it appears to be lip service to fans.
In the second half, all the coaches and players have talked about how they should turn things around; however, there has been no evidence on the field that they are capable of doing so. And, of course, it’s easier to say “just win games,” than it is to do; however, there is genuine concern that the Phillies have reached their peak.
It doesn’t matter what people say outside the clubhouse, though.
Matters only if the players believe Thomson’s words. They will emerge from this long period of losing and demonstrate why they have been recognized as the best baseball team of the year.
“Frustration, don’t worry. We know what we can be and what kind of team we can be, so I think we’re frustrated. I believe the word “worry” is incorrect. That’s not a good place to be if you’re worried about your current position. Along with frustration, you can experience frustration. “That’s a natural thing to happen,” said superstar slugger Kyle Schwarber.
Philadelphia must respond on the field, regardless of worry or discontent.
Winning on Wednesday will give them the chance to win the series against the Marlins as a start.
