Vic Black was supposed to be a major part of the Mets bullpen this season. Instead, he developed shoulder tendonitis during Spring Training and was put on the disabled list. When he was healthy, he was optioned to the minors and has struggled all year. Still, the Mets should give him a shot when they expand the roster in September.
The Mets bullpen is threatening to undo all of the good that has happened over the past month. That was in evidence Friday night, when Matt Harvey left the game and the bullpen promptly coughed up the lead.
