    I'll be at Thursday afternoon's game. It will be too hot for Phillies fans to beat me up.

    I'm going to say something nice about Brodie Van Ego: Great job getting 1st round talent in the 3d round. He gamed the system and made it work. Nicely done!!!

    Johnny mentions Terry and that's a solid pick as he was a frequent companion with BVW during Spring Training.

    I picked Riggleman but at those odds, I'd also wager on Teufel.

    I don't think that they do it this week so they don't create a distraction on an otherwise wonderful Mets weekend. Maybe the Wednesday or Thursday after the All-Star game.

    1) Both can be correct. He definitely "loves" his clients and believes in them. Brodie Van Ego saw how good Cano was post-suspension and knew how much Cano wanted to return to New York so he saw this as an opportunity to help a former client and his new employer. He also might have caught wind of the NL getting the DH which mitigated the age factor. 2) I am sure that Brodie is dictating the lineup (perhaps literally) and I don't think that Callaway cares. He's employed for another day and, in his mind, can blame the record on someone else. 3) Having said that, BVW might have sent mixed messages about using Diaz. That, and the absence of a lefty and anyone else he could trust might have upset Mickey (which Mickey handled so well). BONUS: Boy was I wrong about Cano. I saw him a lot in Spring Training and he was outstanding (26 for 59) and I drafted him very early in my fantasy league. Sadly, after his 1st AB as a Met, it hasn't worked out.

    What I wrote in Mickey's imaginary message would have been impossible because Diaz never warmed up!!! Incredible.

    All he had to say was "Lugo is our best reliever [which he said] and I believed that he would get by Baez. He was ahead 0 and 2 so just one more pitch and then I would have brought in Diaz. You can blame me for being one pitch too late but I believe in these guys so I don't think that I was." Double-switching in McNeil so that he was the 5th scheduled batter in 9th is egregious and shows that he hasn't learned on the job. As FK said, there was no reason to double-switch. Mickey should just have had him PH for Gomez.

    Mine aren't that subtle: Brodie Van Ego--Brodie Van Wagenen Ros-ERR-io--Rosario

    What a great win this would have been. Dammit.
  15. bmfc1
    As FK said, Mickey double-switched and put his best hitter in the 5th spot for the 9th. Put him in for Gomez.
  16. bmfc1
    Unless they score 2 or more, Diaz will have gone unused and Mickey will have saved him for a situation that never happened.
  17. bmfc1
    The problem is that everyone else in the BP is not reliable other than Diaz so Mickey managed for the stat--saving Diaz for the 9th--instead of using Diaz with 2-on and worrying about the 9th inning later.
  18. bmfc1
    Plenty of second-guessing here.

    An article in The Athleticnoted that they play the Mets and the Marlins a lot before the break so they have a chance to turn it around. Thanks for lumping us with the Marlins: They have 16 more games before the All-Star break — 13 of them will come against the Marlins or Mets. Things could look better after those games. No doubt. But the difficult questions are the fair ones right now, and they are the kind of questions the Phillies' power brokers should be asking themselves. https://theathletic.com/1039566/2019/06/21/gelb-still-all-in-the-difficult-questions-facing-the-phillies-who-cant-go-halfway-now/https://theathletic.com/1039566/2019/06/21/gelb-still-all-in-the-difficult-questions-facing-the-phillies-who-cant-go-halfway-now/

    This game will not be remembered as the game where the catcher almost hit his pitcher in the head. Nice to win one.
  21. bmfc1
    It would be nice if someone/anyone threw the ball to Alonso's chest, rather than over his head or in the dirt.

    All the umpire had to do was make the obvious call but it leads to 5 or more minutes of everyone standing around. Of course, we don't want to criticize the umpires because they are so sensitive.
