Joe Girardi fired by the Phillies at the right time

Phillies fans have gotten their wish. On Friday morning, the breaking news arrived that the Phillies have fired Joe Girardi. With the team having high expectations this season, it was inexcusable that they were 22-29 at this point.

Because of this, the front office believed that a change needed to be made and it has indeed arrived. Girardi's time with the club is no more.

The Phillies fired Joe Girardi and named Rob Thomson interim manager for the remainder of the season. President Dave Dombrowski said they needed a “new voice” to turn around what has been one of the most disappointing teams in baseball at 22-29. They went internal for that voice.

Now, the hope is that Philadelphia can get back on track and find a way to sneak into the postseason. They've been a major disappointment, but we'll see if a change in leadership helps this team do a 180.
