It’s a dark week, folks: the week of the Edwin Díaz poop emoji. It doesn’t make me feel good. It makes me feel really bad. But, it is what it is: the most notable happening on the pitching side for the Mets this week is that their closer is broken. Other notes include Christian Scott’s first poor start in the big leagues, Sean Manaea staying consistent from last week, and Adam Ottavino and Reed Garrett continuing to step up in high leverage roles.
We’ll get the worst part out of the way first.
