Phillies vs Mets: Painter Shelled, Bullpen Collapses

The Phillies lost 10-3 to the Mets, and the bullpen that has carried them all year is finally out of gas -- with a week until the postseason. Andrew Painter got hit hard. Don Mattingly left him in too long. What followed was another bullpen meltdown. But the deeper problem is a roster one: Philadelphia never replaced its fifth starter, leaned on bullpen games all season, and the arms are now spent. Meanwhile, the offense is 24th of 30 at hitting mistake pitches -- the ones over the heart of the plate that are supposed to get punished. • Andrew Painter shelled, and Mattingly's timing pulling him at 85 pitches • Brooks Raley was traded for then barely used -- 7.2 innings in August • Orion Kerkering cannot locate and why that is a postseason problem • How bullpen games trace straight back to letting Ranger Suarez walk • Brandon Marsh and an inability to handle a cutter • Philadelphia 24th of 30 in hard-hit rate on pitches down the middle • Cristopher Sanchez vs Jonah Tong tomorrow, with an ERA creeping toward 3 If the Phillies enter October with this bullpen, which series do you think they actually survive?
