All of the comments on Philly.com are positive about Bowa returning, they think that his fiery style will make the Phillies play with more urgency and grit

Always perceived Mackanin to be this quiet mastermind, and was pretty annoyed when it looked like the Sox were gonna get him. Then I watched him speak at that press conference, which was like The Lohan Zone
Probably been overrating guys with glasses all along

Has there been a FakeWIPCaller tweet yet about how he's pissed that the Flyers are incestuous and keep bringing back old timers, but welcome back Larry Bowa!

I don't really care about Bowa being on the staff, assuming (which I think is safe) he's not a serious future managerial candidate. Not like he's making the lineup decisions or will have the leeway to do his "look at me" ump shit. And he knows his shit re: IF defense so maybe he helps Asche/Galvis/Hernandez

Galvis can help Bowa with his defense.
This is a simple game. You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball.

I'm glad Bowa is back. His fiery style will make the Phillies play with more urgency and grit.

Why not just bring back Fregosi while we're at it?

Being cut from the same firey managerial cloth as Bowa, Sandberg will get tossed plenty o' times.

This season, 0.8% of plate appearances ended with a hit-by-pitch. Over Shane Victorino’s career, 1.6% of his plate appearances have ended with a hit-by-pitch. Batting lefty, that rate has been just 0.9%. But this year Victorino has temporarily given up switch-hitting, batting righty against righties and lefties alike. Batting righty against a lefty, he’s been hit 4.1% of the time. Batting righty against a righty, he’s been hit 10% of the time. This season, over 125 plate appearances against righties batting righty, Victorino’s been drilled 13 times. Some of that, of course, is due to same-handed pitchers being more willing to work inside. The rest of that is because it’s Shane Victorino.
Ruf was the only phillies with a walk rate higher than Victorino's hbp rate against rightys.

#PHILLIES have hired some METH using dumpster divers to look in green bins for new outfielders.
