Another dreadful Phillies season is coming to a close and some major decisions must be made by general manager Matt Klentak, president Andy MacPhail and majority owner John Middleton.
One decision will be whether or not to retain manager Pete Mackanin, who signed a one-year extension midseason. However, the team went on to lose 29 of their next 38 games, making the decision to extend Mackanin look foolish.
Many fans want the 66-year-old skipper to walk the plank in the midst of another season with the worst record in baseball. Failing to gain control of young players such as Maikel Franco and Odubel Herrera, instituting puzzling lineups, and a lack of fire has fueled the criticism even further entering the final two weeks of the season.
