Phillies president says manager Rob Thomson not on hot seat

""We just haven't played very well. It's really every portion of our game. There's been some individual players that have done fine, by all means, who are doing well. As a group, I don't think any part of our team has excelled: Offensively, pitching-wise, starting pitching-wise, defensively.""

""Put it this way. We're not [considering moving on from Thomson]. But if we were, that's not something we've ever shared. Rob Thomson's been a good manager for us since [2022].""

""Generally, I've said about 40 games of the season is when you start to say, 'OK, where are we shaping up? Guys have had enough time.' But there's no magic in that number. Sometimes it's a little bit more; sometimes it's a little bit less.""

""That's why you got to keep battling, day in and day out, because we have a lot of talent on this team.""

Dave Dombrowski expressed concern over the Philadelphia Phillies' performance, noting a disappointing 8-15 start and a seven-game losing streak. He emphasized that no part of the team has excelled, including offense, pitching, and defense. Despite the struggles, Dombrowski confirmed that manager Rob Thomson is not on the hot seat and praised his leadership since 2022. He highlighted the team's lack of offensive production, with a batting average of .218 and being outscored 49-14 during the losing streak, stressing the need for continuous effort.
