Today is a sad day, Phillies fans. If you watch the games on TV, you know that the only respite we get from Ben Davis and his color commentary dumbassery is beloved Phillies hero Matt Stairs. Stairs has been broadcasting Phillies games since 2014, but as of today, he will broadcast no more.
WHY GOD, WHY?!
As you can tell, I have mixed feelings about this. Stairs was a tremendous hitter in his time, and undoubtedly has knowledge to share with the up-and-coming Phillies. That’s a great thing, and this feels like an excellent hire for the Phillies.
