Did I see it right that the Phillies made they’re short stop relief pitch? The Mets scored 25. He could barely lob it over the plate. Just curious what the philosophy was behind that decision.

They were probably getting killed already and saved their pen for tomorrow.
Yeah, just saving the bull pen
I felt bad for him. It was like a home Run derby. Said it was so slow it wouldn’t register on the radar gun.

There has been a record number of position players pitching this year.

I'm not dead yet.....competition is the life blood of any human being
Some dreams being made in the process .
I know Rizzo on the cubs said he always wanted to pitch just once in the majors so they were getting killed one night and Maddon put him in the top of the 9th to pitch and he got his 3 outs and came off with a big smile.
I imagine that short stop probably wasn't having as much fun on the Phillies.
I still remember Mark Grace pitching for the diamond backs one night. He was pretty much goofing around the entire time.
Drew Butera the back up catcher for the royals has pitched twice this year as well as playing a couple other positions.
Reality is many Major league players pitched at one time, maybe high school or college. U saw Rizzo got to pitch to 2 batters earlier this year.

Phillies fan here. They were in the 1st game of a doubleheader. They were down a bunch (11+runs,) when Kapler went to a reserve
outfielder Roman Quinn, he gave up 7 in 1 2/3rds. Then The SS Kingery came in for the 1 1/3. I have played a bunch of baseball and I always had a harder time with a guy throwing 50 than a guy throwing 75. Kingery had been the everyday SS until the trade for Asdrubal Cabrera, so its not like he can only throw 42mph. He was just taking it easy trying to get them to swing and get some outs.
Once that 1st game of the DH was essentially lost, it made sense to me to not use up bullpen guys, when you have another game 45 minutes later. Also the night before they only for 3 innings out of the started and used all 8 bullpen guys.
