Philadelphia Phillies

Charlie Manuel has been fired as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies but will remain with the organization.

A robot will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Wednesday afternoon's game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Milwaukee Brewers. The robot, not named for Phillies Hall of Famer Robin Roberts but appropriately named Philliebot, was created by University of Pennsylvania students Jordan Brindza and Jamie Gewirtz, and will be part of Science Day at Citizen's Bank Park in Philadelphia.
