Thomson replaced previous manager Joe Girardi on June 23, with the Phillies at 22-29. Under him, Philadelphia went 65-46 before their run ended in a six-game World Series loss to Houston.
Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson had a simple message before the National League champions took the field Thursday for their first spring training workout for pitchers and catchers.
Thomson said there are three parts of the season — the first week of spring training, the first week of spring training games and the first week of regular-season games — that make him nervous because they are different levels of intensity. "I’m hungry, and I wanted to get back there as quick as possible," right-hander Zack Wheeler said. "I think that’s probably how a lot of guys feel around here. Speaking for myself, I want to get back there.""As I see these guys come into camp, I feel the excitement they have," said Thomson, who had the interim manager tag removed and received a two-year contract during the postseason.
