The Phillies' 3rd base coach will remain in charge as the team plays out the next THREE MONTHS of the 2015 season, dear god.
In the wake of Ryne Sandberg fleeing the Phillies because they lost too much - something he apparently just did not see coming heading into 2015 - the team needed someone to take the reins.
Yes, even the bad teams need a manager, and once again, 3rd base coach Pete Mackanin and his remarkable penmanship have graduated to the role. This is the third time Mackanin has taken over as an interim manager, and the Phillies have announced that he will do so for the remainder of the 2015 season.
