Christopher Sanchez had a solid outing in Saturday’s matchup against the Mets, but bullpen decisions loomed large for Rob Thomson and the Phillies in the 4-2 loss. NBCSPhilly has the game recap.
Thomson let Sanchez, a lefthander, start the sixth to face lefty-swinging Brandon Nimmo with the score tied at two. After Nimmo singled, Yunior Marte came out of the pen. That was partly a left-right percentages decision and partly an acknowledgement that the next two Mets hitters, Starling Marte and Francisco Lindor, had hit the ball hard off Sanchez in their previous at bats.
Even if Soto or Alvarado had been available, Thomson almost surely wouldn’t have turned to either one in the sixth. That’s the role normally filled by Seranthony Dominguez, who is presently on the injured list with a left oblique strain. After further reflection, he said he couldn’t really put a percentage on which way he leans. “You’ve got to have a balance,” he pointed out. “So I’m always thinking down the road about tomorrow and the next day and the next week.”NOTES ON A SCORECARD
Rob Thomson said his entire coaching staff accompany him to Seattle for this year’s All-Star Game in Seattle on July 11. He’ll manage the NL squad by virtue of the Phillies being the defending league champions.
