Tempers nearly flared Saturday night in Queens, and the Mets’ general manager wasn’t involved this time.
The day after Brodie Van Wagenen threw a chair in an angry tirade following a loss Friday night, according to The Post’s exclusive report, Todd Frazier and Mickey Callaway were both tossed in the fifth inning of the Mets-Phillies games that began with Jake Arrieta hitting Frazier with a changeup.
Frazier slammed his bat to the ground and was fired up, yelling at Arrieta, catcher J.T. Realmuto and home-plate umpire Tripp Gibson before getting sent to the showers. It was the third time he was hit by a Phillies pitcher this year.
