We don't make the playoffs at all in 2022 if not for feasting on them so what goes around comes around I guess.
Still better than losing this one 3-1 I reckon.
The Casty discourse reminds me of the Hector Neris discourse back in his day. Yeah, he ain't as good as we'd like, but nobody is better. You could make the case that a guy who can't hit but plays better defense is the correct option, but that's clearly not what the Phillies think, and it's not what worked in 2022 (when Nick couldn't even hit) or 2023 (when they played Rojas and Pache more at other spots) either.
LOL Thomson mentions Mariana Rivera had 80 blown saves his career. It's good to get this over with, I think. Like the first time you realize your spouse isn't perfect.
