  I don't think Eskin was out of line in this situation.  He was doing his job.  Manuel's frustration got the best of him and he lost his cool.  I'm not saying Eskin is completely innocent, but he's been doing this his entire career.

Brett Myers to the bullpen
Published 4/18/2007 by Dave at Philly Sports Net
... l take Myers s spot in the rotation. So, in a matter of two starts, Brett Myers goes from opening day starter to setup man. The move reeks of desperation. Jon 11.57 ERA Lieber gets his starting job back after a grandiose display of unprofessionalism during his time in the bullpen. Kind of like rewarding your dog for shitting on the rug. I guess Gillick feels this is prime time for a Jon Lieber trade bait audition. Granted, this move should definitely strengthen the bullpen, but at what cost to the starting rotation? Remember, Myers has been the Phillies best and most consistent starter for the last 2 years. Myers has been victimized by the homerun ball thus far this season, allowing 5 ding dongs in 15.1 innings pitched. However, when you look at his hits allowed (15), strikeout numbers (19 Ks), and opponents batting average (.250), Myers does not seem far from putting it together. I guess the move can t make the team any worse then they already are. ____________________
