The theme of this week’s pitching meter is that the Mets’ key pitchers are starting to finally perform like it. The problem is that almost everybody else has not just been bad, but poop emoji level bad. The Mets had a couple of bullpen meltdowns this week and yesterday’s was the most epic—arguably of the entire season. Though Buck Showalter’s bullpen decisions—particularly in yesterday’s game—have been questionable, it is also demoralizing when no one outside of the three highest leverage guys can ever seem to get the job done on a semi-consistent basis. This bullpen probably did desperately need Drew Smith this week, who will return from suspension today.
