The Phillies are doing their thing, and Ruben Amaro is doing his. It's as simple as that.
The parting of a general manager and a team seems to have never been so closely monitored as theirs, however, and today's spring training match-up, pitting the Phillies against Amaro's new team, the Red Sox, was bound to birth some pithy quotations.
Reporters didn't hold back, getting Amaro to speak not just on the Phillies - a topic it's probably time for people to let go of - but on analytics, something that RAJ's administration in Philadelphia has long been criticized of ignoring or denying.
