A team that came out of nowhere to reach the World Series is doing its best to focus on a promising future rather than a disappointing present. “We should definitely be proud.”
Determined to capitalize on his team’s momentum, Phillies Manager Rob Thomson went to his top relievers early in Game 1. The moves paid off with a win on the road.
For a city that rarely reaches the top, Philadelphia has a strange pattern of success against Houston. The Astros will try to overcome that in the World Series against the Phillies.
Rob Thomson has quietly turned around the Phillies’ season. If he can end the franchise’s playoff drought, people might stop confusing him with other guys.
