Right now, the Philadelphia Phillies can do nothing right to ignite the hope among the fanbase after a 10-19 start to the season. While announcing managerial change following a poor start to the season, front office leader Dave Dombrowski seemed unfriendly with reporters in the press conference and that isn't helping.

On Tuesday, when Tim Kelly of Bleacher Reports confronted Dombrowski about his role in poor roster construction and weak production, the Phillies president basically refused to answer.

This is the last thing Phillies fans could be expecting as Dombrowski chose silence over defending his role within the organization. There were some fans in the comments who even suggested that the Phillies should have fired Dombrowski instead of manager Rob Thompson.

"Big D deserved to be fired, not Rob.  This sub par roster is his fault.  If anyone deserves to lose their job for continuing to make the same mistakes, it's him," one fan commented.

"Dave dombrowski put together an inept roster for the 3rd year in a row and topper gets fired," another fan reacted.

"Middleton please get rid of Dombrowski. He his destroying this team," one fan commented.

The Phillies fired Thompson on Tuesday morning. They asked Alex Cora for the managerial role but the recently fired Boston Red Sox manager turned the Phillies down. Bench coach Don Mattingly, who previously managed the Los Angeles Dodgers and the , was promoted and has been asked to manage the Phillies for the rest of the season.
