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.

Lots to discuss.

Will Rob Thomson be the Phillies manager on Tuesday? Will Kevin Long be the hitting coach?

The team’s 9-19 start has fueled this speculation. Thomson addressed his job status following Sunday’s loss to the Braves. Meanwhile, Dave Dombrowski declined to address speculation about Alex Cora’s unexpected availability, after the Red Sox fired him on Saturday.

We talk a lot about the hot seat and who should be held responsible for this mess.

It’s hard to imagine how much worse things can get for the Phillies, but we’ll find out this weekend in Atlanta.

The Phillies have lost nine consecutive games, following their first four-game sweep to the Cubs at Wrigley Field since 1973. The terrible run has Phillies manager Rob Thomson and hitting coach Kevin Long on the hot seat, while Dave Dombrowski’s job performance has come under scrutiny. After all, he signed both Nick Castellanos and Taijuan Walker, who the Phillies just released on Thursday.

We talk about the losing streak, Walker and more.

The Phillies have been playing bad baseball for weeks, and if they keep playing like this it could cost Rob Thomson his job.

Should it? We discuss Dave Dombrowski’s comments on Tuesday in Chicago, and his role in the Phillies’ mess. It includes a historically bad start for the Phillies’ offense, a pitching staff that no longer seems to be a strength and more.

We’ll find out if this is rock bottom for the Phillies.

They just got swept by the Braves. They’ve lost five in a row, 10 out of 13 and just finished their worst nine-game homestand in almost 17 years. They have the worst run differential in baseball, too. Yes, it’s even worse than the Mets, who have lost 11 in a row. The Phillies are hoping it’s just a bad start, but maybe it’s more than that.

We discuss the homestand, Zack Wheeler’s return. Taijuan Walker’s spot on the roster and more.
