I freely admit I was critical of his in game decision making, but I always really, really liked him (and still do). He was a great manager for the Phils because he knew how to relate to and treat players and NO ONE questions his knowledge of hitting, which was off the charts.

I hope he recovers, and quickly. Always a class act.

Thankfully he was at a hospital already. Hopefully there wasn’t any permanent damage.

Did it all for the Phils. Knew to start Pedro Feliz to win. Had that HC sixth sense that Big Rob has. Get well, C.

This morning, the Phillies received a positive update from Charlie Manuel’s wife, Missy. Charlie has made progress over the past 12 hours and his doctors are encouraged.

The Manuel family is very appreciative for every post on social media. Charlie feels the love from his Phillies family and fans. Missy believes the incredible support is aiding in his recovery.

TV broadcast just said that Charlie is out of ICU and is reading and sending text messages

[bkeich]

Anyone else surprised he EVER sent a text message?

A note tied to a beer can, yea, a text message, no.

Anyone else surprised he EVER sent a text message?

he has a twitter account and actually tweets from it himself!

I mean, he doesn't love it, but my Dad texts and he's older than Charlie.

Not everyone Charlie’s age is stuck in the 1970s in terms of technology.

In fact, many of us lived through, embraced, and often helped bring about the changes of the past 50 years.

But we still need someone to translate emojis for us.

I want to thank all the people who are pulling for me. I am touched that you are showing me love. And I want to thank @LKLDRegional Critical Care team for hustling and being on time. You have kept me in the game. Charlie Manuel 🧠 ️
