It’s the week of the sideways arrow on the pitching meter. Each of the members of the rotation pitched once this week and José Butto made a spot start, allowing some of the starters some extra rest—namely Max Scherzer, whose next start has been pushed back to Wednesday due to some lingering back soreness. And clearly the rotation pitched well enough to keep the Mets in every game this week; Carlos Carrasco in particular took a major step forward in his start this week. However, Mets starters as a group are failing to go deep into games, which is having a domino effect on the bullpen and is arguably the factor you can point to as the underlying cause of the Mets’ one loss this week.
