    Just like Loserussa; wants everyone to think that the manager is the most important guy on the team.

    They were calling for Brett Brown to get fired early this season. Now those same people are calling for him to be coach of the year.

    They also wanted Doug Peterson fired after his first couple games last year (I admittedly was not a doug Peterson fan when he was hired).

    Yes, he has had a rough start, but if the bullpen doesn’t blow a 5-0 lead in the first game they are sitting at 2-1 right now and no one is having any of these conversations.

    Gotta give it time. I’m also not thrilled about my season total over 75.5, but not ready to write it off yet

    Lunker your argument makes no sense as the bullpen blowing the 5-0 lead is the very reason people are calling for this guys head. Theres not way you take Nola out at that point in the game

    Philly.com had an interesting article today about Manuals & Bowa's take on all this

    Oh no I agree he shouldn’t have taken him out. I’m just saying you wouldn’t be hearing the media calling for his head had they held on to that game (even though it was obviously the wrong decision).

    Doug Peterson’s bonehead play calls cost them a win in Dallas in 2016 during his first season. A year later he’s a sb winning head coach. 5 months ago everyone wanted Brett brown fired. So it’s just funny to hear the same comments from the same people who got it wrong with with other recent coaches in the same city.

    It’s way too early to tell. Yea this guy could be chip Kelly 2.0.. but gotta give him a shot. He will hopefully learn from his rookie mistakes and will be fine

    Better to use them than being a complete moron like Mike matheny who totally ignores them and instead just defers to washed up veterans.
