The Boss fired a manager midway through a season five times in Mattingly\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>And even if that wasn\u2019t the case, Mattingly is managing the Phillies right now only because president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski fired Rob Thomson on April 28 after a 9-19 start. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Surely, then, Mattingly must have thoughts on the Mets\u2019 decision Friday to can manager Carlos Mendoza amid a six-game losing streak and with the third-worst record (34-47) in the National League.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Oh, and just in time for a visit from the Phillies.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t know what\u2019s been going on over there, and we\u2019ve got enough stuff to deal with ourselves,\u201d Mattingly said. \u201cSo, I kind of just get back to the coldhearted [viewpoint]. If I\u2019m hitting, I need to get a good pitch to hit and I need to hit it hard. If I\u2019m playing [defense], I need to make baseball plays for the situation of the game.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t worry about what\u2019s going on with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>For the Phillies, the managerial change served as a pivot point in the season. But as Mattingly notes, it had less to do with a difference between him and Thomson than with better starting pitching. The offense has started to come around, too.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The Phillies were 36-15 under Mattingly \u2014 and 45-36 overall, a 90-win pace at the mathematical midpoint of the season entering Friday night.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>It may be too late for the Mets to save their season. But maybe they\u2019ll get a boost under interim manager Andy Green, who was promoted after spending the past 2\u00bd seasons as farm director.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Like Mattingly, Green didn\u2019t expect to be in this position. Green has managed previously in the majors, steering the Padres to a 274-366 record from 2016-19.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1644\">Man fatally shot in Mantua<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI just think it [feels like] you are where you\u2019re supposed to be, right?\u201d Mattingly said. \u201cIt just falls into your lap more than anything else, and then you just take it and just do the best job you can.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Rangel ready<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Two and a half hours before Friday night\u2019s game began, lefty Alan Rangel stepped out from the Phillies\u2019 dugout and took a photo of Citi Field.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>He will pitch here Saturday.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Mattingly said the Phillies were still deciding if Rangel will start the game or enter after an opener. Either way, it will be his latest audition for what amounts to the Phillies\u2019 fifth-starter spot.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>It will mark Rangel\u2019s second turn since replacing demoted righty Andrew Painter. The 28-year-old lefty, released as a minor leaguer with the Angels in 2024, came in after opener Tim Mayza on Monday night in Washington and allowed one run in five walk-free innings.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s got an interesting mix, honestly,\u201d Mattingly said. \u201c[Commanding the ball] up-down is a mix that you\u2019ve seen work in the game with different guys. You don\u2019t have to be throwing 100 to have success, and he\u2019s got a mix that can work. He has stuff to get people out.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Painter, meanwhile, is scheduled to start Sunday for triple-A Lehigh Valley. It wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see Painter throw primarily fastballs. It\u2019s essential for him to regain confidence in his heater after opponents batted .404 and slugged .660 against it in the majors.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Extra bases<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Mattingly on struggling Trea Turner, who went 6-for-20 in four games in Washington to raise his average to .231 and OPS to .618: \u201cI think Trea\u2019s fine. I mean, when do we decide that he\u2019s there? When he\u2019s getting two hits a night for 10 straight days? He\u2019s getting his hits.\u201d &#8230; Rangel will be opposed at 4:10 p.m. Saturday by Mets righty Christian Scott (2-0, 3.10 ERA). Scott, the Mets\u2019 fifth-round pick in 2021, and Painter were teammates at Calvary Christian High School in South Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1643\">Flyers draft towering defenseman Maksim Sokolovskii after trading back in Round 1<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mattingly took over after Rob Thomson was fired this season and played for eight managers in 14 seasons as a member of the Yankees. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1647,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
