Of course not. These guys are untouchable especially at the top of the lineup no matter if they suck for like 6 weeks straight. I don't know if it's just Mattingly or the front office kissing these guys asses because they have huge contracts.

It's ridiculous and tiresome. I said to myself when they were going over the mets pitcher analysis that they were going to strike out a ton this game and well that seems to be the case early.

Yeah, this is organizationally and mattingly just not wanting to do it. Like I said before people did not like Thomson but Thomson was at least afford the right to tinkered with his lineup in September prior to the playoffs. I wanna say 2023 he did it. He also did it in 2024. They realistically should be trying stuff. It’s not an ideal lineup, but this one’s probably the best.

Turner (numbers leadoff are immensely better than 2nd)

Arraez

Harper

Schwarber (at the right he’s striking out you’re not getting much from him besides home run or strikeout. You rather him bat behind Harper to give him protection and goes on in front of him)

Bohm

Stott

Jt

Crawford/hill

Marsh/bdlc

I hate Marsh only slightly less than Turner at this point

You should probably hate him even more. He’s been the worst hitter in all of baseball since the beginning of July. Furthermore, they traded a top 75 prospect for him. It doesn’t matter what O’hoppe became. O’hoppe was never staying here. you had Jt his value to you was as a trade chip in the trade market. What they got was a platoon player. Furthermore they told us he was gonna be a centerfielder, he’s not. That they were gonna fix his problems hitting left-handed pitching, which they didn’t. And he still strikes out too much. Literally everything they said they were gonna do to make him an everyday player they haven’t done.

I only hate him slightly less is because he isnt being paid as much as Turner and because he can at least play left field better than turner plays shortstop...

I give credit to Turner. It’s been about two weeks since he’s made an error. So that’s progress. Lol

Uggghhhhhhhh

After the walk, and then after the single, why they didn’t go out and talk to him when he had been wild and all over the place is beyond me. No they let him give up a three run HR yet still didn’t go out and talk to him.

Sosa swinging at a pitch that hit the dirt 8 ft before the plate lmao. This isn't cricket homie

We’d be lucky if we get 2 hits the rest of the game. Seen this story before

Painter still has a ton of potential, hopefully in the what is supposed to be a long off season he can get his control back.

Yan is getting annoying with all the dancing and celebrating. I wouldn't mind Painter tossing a few rib shots at Mets batters. The way his control is right now it shouldn't be too hard 😂

Nothing like Mattingly taking out painter at 85 pitches for left handed Kerkering

Agreed.

The way they're playing it's entirely possible they lose this series then the next two against two of the best teams in MLB.

Issue is the diamondbacks still have two more against the Yankees. They’re probably gonna split that. So your magic number automatically becomes 3. And then the diamondbacks play the Rockies who they should sweep. And then they play the Padres. So it’s very likely if the Diamondbacks just lose four more games the rest of the year and you get in. But if the Phillies win just two more and the diamondbacks lose 2 they’re gonna get in.

We can only hope... The Phillies thing to do is to though is win out and prolong this sheet

Yeah I think they'll just barely get into the playoffs then get smoked in the first round
