Dave Dombrowski, president of baseball operations, conducted a press conference before Tuesday’s workout as the club prepares for its third straight…
Dave Dombrowski has been in charge of five teams that went to the World Series: 1997 Marlins, 2006 and 2012 Tigers, 2018 Red Sox and the 2022 Phillies.
“Of course, during an All-Star break you don’t have control of the players. That’s different. Now we’re in a position where we can work on high-level, high-volume velocity machines. Work on the curveball machine. We’re going to throw batting practice. But I always worry more about the offensive perspective because days off can normally cause you concern.”“I think it is. The staff has talked a lot about it with the pitchers themselves. That’s why this week is so important.
Q. This is your third straight year in the playoffs. Do you feel any sense of urgency knowing that you only get so many chances at this?“No, I don’t. First of all, I don’t feel like our window’s closing. I keep hearing that. But I think what happens is, sometimes it closes with the current players you have. But that doesn’t mean it closes overall.
“So I don’t think the window for the Phillies is closing but you always have some limitation on the current team you have.” Q. How difficult is it to have come all this way knowing that it could all end because of one bad hop, one bad pitch, one circumstance beyond your control?“Unfortunately, that’s just the way it is. You prepare. You do everything you possibly can. I feel totally confident our guys will be as prepared as they can possibly be. Fundamentally. Pitching-wise. Hitting-wise. But you never know what you’re going to run into. That’s just how the game goes.
