Phillies Fire Manager, Mets Struggle: Baseball's Worst Records

0:00It's April 28th, New York Meds News. Today starts now, AI-powered and game-ready. I'm Corey with the story. The Phillies and the Meds are tied with the worst record in baseball at 9 wins and 19 losses. Just hours ago, the Phillies spirited their manager Rob Thompson, the guy who took them to the World Series and made the playoffs every year he's been. There. Now Don Mattingley steps in as interim manager. Both teams have payrolls over $300 million, so a brutal start like this screams for a shake-up. Thompson won the last two division titles, but you can't keep rolling out the same line of when the bats go cold night after night. Philly fans get it. They appreciate Rob's success, but no someone's got to go when you're paying top dollar for bottom results. Meds fans have been clamoring to ditch Carlos Mendoza too, especially after off days pass without action, leaving them looking passive. Meanwhile, the meds bet big on dynamic pricing, holding back single-game tickets from July 1st onward, figuring they crushed the division and rake in premium sales.

1:04That hubris is biting them now, who's buying for a 9 and 19 squad. Philly burned the boats to rally their talent for the long haul, while the meds sit with empty seats looming. McFireworks has both chased that turnaround before May hits.
