Rise and Phight: 11/1/2022

Phillies news:

• As Dave Dombrowski gets more attention with the Phillies in the playoffs, the question should be asked: is his way the right way to win?
• More Dombrowski love. I’m genuinely interested in what happens when he leaves. Does Sam Fuld believe in the same team building philosophy?
• This story about Rhys Hoskins is just wonderful. Long term questions remain, but boy has this guy become a fan favorite.
