This is getting ridiculous. As the New York Mets watch the 2019 season slip away, the bullpen bears the brunt of the blame for the lost season. They are not the only one to blame, but they have been a major disappointment all season.
On Tuesday night, Wilmer Font added to the misery with a brutal relief appearance against the Philadelphia Phillies. Font took the ball from Walker Lockett with a 5-2 lead and runners on second and third. He induced soft contact to the first two batters he faced, but after a groundout and an infield single, both inherited runners scored.
