Given the results of the games since the second half began, I honestly thought this meter would be more of a mess than it is. But, the bad performances were either isolated, balanced out by good ones, or worse on paper than they actually were. That said, the Mets were involved in some high-scoring games this week, both on the winning and losing end. Without Jacob deGrom to anchor it, the Mets’ rotation looks very different.
Since I mentioned Jacob deGrom, we’ll start with him and the other pitchers lost to injury since the second half began because it seems like the Mets have been losing a steady stream of pitchers to injury all year.
