As is often true for .500 teams, which is exactly what the Mets are at the moment, they can never get everything going at the same time. The pitching meter looks quite good this week with not a poop emoji in sight and hardly any red either, for that matter. With the exception of Kodai Senga’s abbreviated outing yesterday, the starting rotation pitched well enough to keep the Mets in every game this week—and even in yesterday’s game the Mets did make up the deficit Senga created. Unfortunately because of the general ineptitude of the Mets’ lineup this week, every game was close and the few bad bullpen performances the Mets had were very impactful.
