Hope you’re wrong Butch only because they’ve got to let this guy face every kind of pitching other MLB’ers face, and stop with the musical chairs.

Butch, I agree. I can’t help but wonder if the main culprit in Brown not fulfilling his promise is the way that he has been handled. He gets called up, plays for a bit, gets benched, platooned, has his swing tinkered with, gets hurt, sat against lefties, set down and replaced with Pence. Than for whatever reason, the Phillies give Mayberry, a 28 yr old career minor-leaguer, 4th or 5th outfielder that has had the same deficiencies forever, he cant hit an off-speed pitch, every opportunity to succeed. Let Brown play everyday, without looking over his shoulder and see if he’s legit.

Charlie Manuel’s been playing mental games with Brown for the last two years…I kind of expect that not to stop. Until Dominic Brown starts smashing some pitchers consistently Manuel’s going to try to stay under his skin, by doing things that will undermine Brown like platooning him, pulling him out of the line-up against the lefties, trying to get the hitting coach to adjust his swing again… Brown is just going to have to mentally prepare himself for that kind of craziness.

I agree with the Turk .. The Phils need to find out if Dom Brown is a legitimate MLB everday Player so throw him out there for these remaining 55 games and see what he can do to develop some consistency, some confidence and get into a big-league rhythm..

Memo to the Phillies let Brown play everyday for the rest of the year and give him a chance don’t take him out of the lineup against lefthanded pitchers.
