Behind a truly mad Max, who’s still battling Major League Baseball, this time over an extra warm-up toss no less,to complete their sweep Thursday and put a punctuation mark on their utter domination over the division rival that’s nearest to them geographically and spiritually.
“We have to figure something out fast. We can’t go about it that baseball owes us something because we had a magical run down the stretch last year,” Phillies star Nick Castellanos told The Post. “Whatever fire we have as a group, I think it’s about time it shows.” Phillies manager Rob Thomson, the darling of the city last year when they pulled off two upsets and reached the World Series, pointed out the past three National League champions all started slowly. A World Series hangover may exist, but there’s no denying it’s getting concerning.
The Mets have spent a lot of money, too, and whatever you want to say about their shortcomings, they appear to have the Phillies’ number — to the extreme of a 17-5 record since the start of 2022.
