The Phillies are doing the impossible since firing Joe Girardi

Joe Maddon has much in common with Joe Girardi, including that he now replaces the fired Girardi as the manager on the hottest seat in the sport. Girardi was the first manager dismissed in 2022, losing his position with the disjointed, dispirited Phillies last week. Who else is in peril? The hottest seat 1. Joe Maddon, Angels. Through May 24, the Angels were 27-17 and...
