GDT, Tues 7/3 vs Yanks

Expect the shuttle from AAA to bring up a fresh arm tomorrow. Phillips probably back to AAA. He did fine tonight.

If so, not wise as Phillips could pitch in game two in Milwaukee with a few days rest. Jackson should go instead. Phillips can help us more.

Good point. But I think Phillips having options means he's the one more likely to go down.
 
Todd Frazier OPS is now .679 and hitting .217 as he went 0-4 tonight in game Mets blew vs Toronto. I was right about him it seems yet some still list him as good trade option now. I don't get it. He is declining and would be a downgrade to even Culberson at third.
 
Plus Snit favors those with experience, so probably right but still don't like it as we need the help in the pen.

I wonder if Chad Bell might be the next one up. He's been doing well and sometimes going more than 1 inning.

The 8th guy is really there to protect the rest of the pen. And neither Jackson nor Phillips can do that the next couple days.

I hope not, look at his numbers vs lefties. It is worse than righties. I think he'd get lit up here as he did in Detroit. Not impressed with him so far.

I'm not advocating for him as a situational lefty. His role would be sacrificial lamb.

I don't mind that in games already lost, but I don't trust Snit not to use him in games we could still win. I just hope Phillips stays as I believe he can help based on the poise he showed tonight and what I saw of him in AAA.
