Phillies: Evaluating their offense under Charlie Manuel
What, if any, impact has Charlie Manuel had on the Phillies offense?
On August 13, the Phillies announced their intentions to replace hitting coach John Mallee with fan-favorite former manager Charlie Manuel.
Despite the incredible hype in the first few days, the spirit has diminished. Regardless, the team’s performance at the plate has changed since Manuel returned to the bench.
The date splits are as follows: Before Charlie (through August 12), and since hiring (August 13 – present).
While I could analyze the scenario through totals, it would be better to present numbers through more advanced measures.
