I looked at that Crashburn Alley thing for the first time in -- well, ever.

Yikes. It seems like all the contributors spend all their energy trying to be clever. They run out of steam pretty quickly and kinda forget about baseball and that kind of stuff. Not impressive.

“My observation as a fan is that in Philadelphia we understand where our teams are on the various cycles of winning,” Middleton said. “These fans are knowledgeable. They understand at different moments in time you make different decisions about whether you trade for a player and whether you are aggressive on the free-agent market based upon whether you win or lose.

“One of the criticisms the fans have leveled on the Phillies, and I think it’s justifiable, is that we didn’t recognize early enough and act upon that recognition that the window had closed and we needed to move on. It was that we were trying to extend guys that were older and trying to create a bridge, and we needed to realize that the bridge didn’t exist and we needed to move on.”

Nice to see some recognition at this late date, though sadly I think the problem was more that it was a bridge to nowhere along with the infrastructure itself being pretty decrepit.

That is spot on.

You just described basically every baseball website with comments other than Fangraphs.

I can dig it. I still get Baseball Prospectus. It's OK but the writers try to be too clever as well. Also too much crap about what they're eating or what kind of music they are listening to and other crap I don't care about at all. Also a lot of fantasy stuff. Don't care about that either.

Phillies ‏@Phillies
Bowa will resume his role as bench coach while Samuel will assume third base coaching responsibilities.

by **JFLNYC** » Tue Oct 27, 2015 15:02:05

Samuel showing Amaro his career path.

by gr » Tue Oct 27, 2015 15:36:47

goddamn bowa must have shit on the rug at his job interviews or said too many bowa things

by **ReadingPhilly** » Tue Oct 27, 2015 15:46:55

probably would've gotten the marlins job and had samuel as his bench coach if mattingly would've been retained by the dodgers.

by **CFP** » Tue Oct 27, 2015 16:09:54

I asked Lawrence on Twitter but can someone confirm if this is correct:

2013 Samuel at third, ????? at first... 2014 Mackanin at third Sammy at first? 2015 Mackanin third Sammy at first, Mackanin manager Mizerock takes over at third, now Sammy at third, ??? at first.
