Phillies fans criticized Don Mattingly after his positive outlook following a crushing loss to the Tampa Bay Rays that left Philadelphia’s postseason hopes hanging by a thread. The Phillies lost 12-1 to the Rays on Saturday, their fourth consecutive defeat.
Phillies fans have harshly criticized their skipper Don Mattingly after a devastating 12-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. The Phillies, who have lost four straight games, now need a win or an Arizona Diamondbacks' defeat to secure a playoff spot. Following the crushing defeat, Mattingly made surprisingly optimistic remarks during his postgame press conference, stating that he was "encouraged" by the team's efforts.
