Understandably, Manuel yanked Kendrick after 5. He inserted Danys Baez who has been having a terrible year. With 4 innings to fill up, not a terrible decision, I guess. However, after breezing through his first inning of work, Manuel left the former closer in for a second inning. This is not the first time Manuel has done it this year, and it just doesn't work out well. Without recording an out, Baez was responsible for 4 more ER to the Mets.
The Phillies only had 8 base runners, so it's not like they were set to make a comeback, but still, Charlie, make intelligent decisions today.
Today, Roy Halladay takes on RHP Mike Pelfrey in the 2nd game of the set.
