The Phillies are 5-1 under interim manager Don Mattingly, and there are a lot of reasons why.

The change shocked the clubhouse, and suddenly everybody has sprung to life. The offense has been better, the rotation has been better.

We talk about what we’ve noticed from Mattingly in his first week on the job, the Phillies carrying three catchers and more.

So far so good for the Phillies since Don Mattingly became interim manager on Tuesday.

The Phillies swept the Giants this week, including a doubleheader sweep on Thursday. The Phillies won both games on walk-offs, the first for the Phillies since 1998. Chase Shugart got both wins, the first time a Phillies pitcher had done that since Terry Adams in 2002.

What jumped out about the sweep? What do we think about Don Mattingly? Are we finallly seeing life from the Phillies offense?

Tuesday was a franchise-altering day for the Phillies. Dave Dombrowski fired Rob Thomson as manager. He hired Don Mattingly, who was his second choice. (Bet the farm Alex Cora gets the job next year.)

Dombrowski detailed Thomson’s firing and answered questions about his own job performance. Mattingly discussed his expectations. Thomson made himself available to Philly reporters one final time.

What’s to come for the Phillies? We’ll find out. But they opened Mattingly’s tenure with a win.
