Phillies manager Pete Mackanin is really annoyed right now.
On Sunday, his club lost to the Mets 17-0. Last night it was 7-6 (full recap here).
Of course, it’s often not the result, but how the result was achieved that leads to the issue.
On Sunday, starter Jake Thompson was removed after 4 innings and a 3-0 deficit. After that, his relief pitchers gave up 3, 3, 2, 5, and 1 run respectively. No one left unscathed.
Last night? A 6-0 lead after 2 innings… 6-1 after 5.
