The Papelbon experience has been a complete disaster for that franchise, and the team’s play over that timespan has been reflective of it. Seems like there’s a lot of dysfunction going on and Matt Williams looks to have phoned it in at this point. Cycle a new manager in there, throw in whatever money it takes to trade Papelbon, and start over fresh in 2016.

Mets should just use the next week to align the rotation. Each starter gives it a final ST start, 45-60 low stress pitches

I imagine they view getting home-field advantage at least mildly important. With the young staff, going into Chavez Ravine with 50,000+ for Games 1&2 could be dangerous. Let them get their first post-season experience at home.

This should be Williams last straw, let Knorr have the job for the next 6 and probably going forward.

In light of cameras being around when you grab a teammate by the throat you’re wrong, eh Jon? Should have done it in the clubhouse after the game? That’s the light you’re wrong in?
This, incidentally, is exactly why I did not want the Cubs to trade for Papelbon even though he probably was the most effective reliever available. This guy’s attitude is just plain bad and I don’t want him anywhere near my team.

Williams has clearly lost control of his team. He needs to go and the Nats have to find a way to take advantage of Harper’s prime years. He’s just too good to be wasted on this kind of stuff. Plus he could have been injured.
