NEW YORK (WFAN) — The Mets are following the blueprint of many of today’s major league teams by counting on the volatile recipe of power pitching and power hitting, Hall of Famer John Smoltz said Tuesday.
Talking to WFAN’s Mike Francesa, Smoltz discussed the struggling Mets as they head into their series against the Braves.
“The Mets are kind of a fair to, if not, good example of what baseball has become: home runs, strikeouts and walks,” the MLB Network analyst said. “It’s tantalizing when you have the health of your starting pitching because you feel like you could pretty much put anybody out there and grind out a 2-0 game, but it’s not a fair assessment of the staff that they have with their inability at times to just put three runs on the board.
