News of Phormer Phillies, 2023

Joe Girardi has been offered the head baseball coach position at the University of Central Florida, sources tell me and @juanctoribio . Girardi, who has managed the Marlins, Yankees and Phillies and won the 2009 WS, has not made a decision yet as to whether he will accept the job.

That job pays about the same as a major league minimum MLB player (or at least it did) and probably less than television? So did he like, apply in what was a competitive hiring process, or is this more, "hey Joe, we'd give you this job if you want to take it."

Timing was exactly wrong for him to get the Northwestern job last year.

Girardi quickly turned the job offer down.

Tough break. I always liked him.

Me too.

and me.

Rob Brantly is down and in some serious pain after he was hit in the arm by a swing on a catcher's interference. EMTs are down on the field and this place is silent.

The replay is ugly.

Rob Brantly was just carted off the field very, very slowly.

One of the nicest guys you'll meet in this game. Hope he's ultimately OK.
