The story of this week from the pitching perspective is fairly simple. The Mets pitched well against the Marlins (a mediocre team) and pitched poorly against the Astros (a good team). There is really not much more to it than that. Trevor Williams facing the Astros lineup had a predictable result and Carlos Carrasco had a bad day because he was not feeling his best physically and the outcome was two Mets losses. In the case of Williams, the bullpen came in and made matters worse, but the bullpen did commendable work after Carrasco’s early exit to keep Wednesday’s game close.
