Christopher Sanchez leads the charge for the Phillies against fellow-lefty Sean Manaea and your host New York Mets.



The two division rivals have yet to match up this season, even during spring training, but now begin an unusual home and home series in which they play two at Citi Field and then head down to Citizens Bank Park for two more, to keep the schedule balanced relative to their two games in London where each will serve as "home" team for one game.



Manaea and Sanchez have had similar seasons, but Sanchez has been a little stronger of late, with the Cards catching up to Manaea in the sixth his last time out. Still he's allowed only one home run in 35 1/3 innings all season. That stinginess will certainly be tested against Philadelphia, currently second in the league in long balls.



Lest it go unsaid, they are first in all of baseball with regard to wins and losses, but the league-worst Miami Marlins walked off against them last night, so they are bound to be demoralized.



Leadoff hitter and left-field guy Kyle Schwarber has missed the last two games while nursing a sore back. Shortstop Trea Turner is on the 10-day injured list, but backup Edmundo Sosa has been terrific on both sides of the ball.

Of all Rob Manfred's screwing with the game in ways I object to, I have to give credit where credit is do. Baseball has finally broken the player barrier and it happened on his watch. Bravo for him.

Appears to be something wrong with J.T. Realmuto as well, with the late-filing of the lineup card showing the star catcher missing his second consecutive start.



The replacements leave Phillie heading out against Manaea with a lefty-heavy lineup.

You gotta put aside your RBEyes with the bases loaded. Just hang in there and let the pitcher panic hisself into making a mistake.

Manaea is indeed dealing, retiring seven in a row, but having thrown 100 pitches through six, he's unlikely to taste the seventh.

I don't cotton to this "He always has the green light."



If a pitcher's in a hole, let him keep digging.

Didn't Alex Bohm have a fielding meltdown against the Mets a year or two ago?



I'm pretty sure it was in Philly because I remember him hearing it from the crowd.

Keith checking out on his grand-daughter's graduation ceremony and forgetting who the speaker was is SO on-brand.



I don't know how good a speaker he is, but it turns out that it was Steve Wozniak, who's not a nobody.
