Phillies Hire Bob McClure, Pitching Coach

Tweet

According to #Sources, the Phillies have finally hired a pitching coach, and it's pitching coach Bob McClure. I don't know a whole lot about Bob McClure other than he's been employed by a lot of professional baseball teams in his lifetime and he sounds like a Simpsons character.

Here's Jim Salisbury with the full details.

I can't rightfully take full credit for The Simpson gag, though:

hi i’m bob mclure, you may remember me from such pitching decisions as pitching diekman there, and not using papelbon on the road

Thanks for the inspiration, CAR LUNCHER. And welcome, the new Phillies DYNASTY.
