  "account": "Philadelphia Phillies owner conveys a three-word message regarding Don Mattingly's future after the season. Interim manager Don Mattingly led the team to a remarkable turnaround, securing a playoff spot with a narrow victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. However, his managerial decisions in the Wild Card series against the Atlanta Braves might have cost the team a deeper run. Phillies managing partner John Middleton praised Mattingly's performance as \"pretty damn good,\" but ultimately stated that the decision rests with Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski.",
