SAN FRANCISCO -- Mets manager Terry Collins said Friday he believes the residual effect of last year's playoff run is beginning to surface within his fatigued starting pitching rotation. Two days later, Collins said his bullpen is beginning to show signs of similar wear and tear.
Collins was asked prior to Sunday's series finale against the Giants if he's concerned about New York's recent stretch of relief. Mets relievers own an 8.02 ERA over their last 10 games.
"You can go back to when we were playing good and our bullpen was pitching really well," Collins said.
