Is Rob Thomson Getting Fired? Phillies Fans Demand Changes | Hittin' Season

Fresh off an awful week of baseball against the Braves and Cubs, Phillies fans are speculating Dave Dombrowski could make some major changes now. Would firing manager Rob Thomson be one of them? On the latest Hittin' Season podcast, John Stolnis, Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher debate that, the team's abysmal play in Chicago and Atlanta, and the task ahead for them. Also, did the Red Sox' firing of Alex Cora speed up the Thomson timeline?
