This nine-game span of play for the Mets since the All-Star break has been a tough one to evaluate from a pitching perspective. The Mets were walked-off three times in a four-game span, which certainly feels bad, is not fun to witness, and feeds into the narrative about the Mets’ bullpen that has been ever-present the entire year. However, those losses were really driven by the Mets’ inability to score runs in those games and—in one case in particular—an error in the field that was no fault of the pitcher. In reality, the Mets’ bullpen has actually pitched extraordinarily well since the break and that is reflected by the lack of poop emojis (for a change) and the sparse number of down arrows in this table.
