PHOENIX — The Unwatchables.
Life is so bad for the Mets they have become an unwatchable team. No excitement. No sustained hitting.
And then there is the imploding bullpen.
No chance.
These Mets were built for the home run and the walk. Opposing pitchers have figured that out and how to pitch to the Mets, busting their hitters with fastballs up and sometimes away. It has become the same story.
When the Mets started the season 11-1, they outscored opponents 61-31. They were averaging five runs per game. Since then they are averaging 3.4 runs per game.
