The 2019 season has mercifully come to end for the underachieving Philadelphia Phillies, who managed to improve by exactly 1 win over last year's team. Each team featured September collapses, but so much more was expected of the current team that added Bryce Harper, JT Realmuto, and Andrew McCutchen.
So now what happens? I imagine we'll learn the fate of manager Gabe Kapler in the next week or so. If they keep him, they'll use all the injuries as an excuse. If they don't, they'll say the team could have and should have accomplished much more. I'm thinking that Kapler gets canned, escpecially since Joe Maddon is now looking for work. I'd also wager there will be a new pitching coach.
I'll have more on what I think needs to happen over the next few weeks. But now is the time for my annual malaise that comes with knowing I can't watch the Phillies for 5 months.
