The pitchers didn’t pitch and the hitters didn’t hit. Congrats, you’re playing baseball like you’re ready to head into the offseason, not the playoffs. I mean come on, you just played the best baseball you’ve done all 2nd half against a Cubs team fighting for the playoffs then immediately take a flight to New York and look like you haven’t touched a baseball in 3 months against a Mets team that is actively tanking.
Merrill Kelly was on the mound and sucked. He started as usual, then forgot how to pitch in the 3rd - loading the bases - before a double from Brandon Nimmo brought in two runs.
