The Mets’ starting rotation—at least the group of starting pitchers the Mets broke camp with, that is—was a bit of a tire fire this week. Max Scherzer was ejected the game on Wednesday after just three innings (and subsequently suspended) and everyone else pitched poorly. The only good starting pitching performance the Mets got this week came from Joey Lucchesi. That said, despite the loss of Edwin Díaz before the season even began and despite the necessary shuffling of personnel, the Mets bullpen continues to be a bright spot this season. Sure, individual relievers have had poor performances here and there, but as a group they have been spectacular and key contributions have come from unlikely sources.
