May 30, 2018 Mets 4 - Larrys 1
Am I supposed to feel encouraged? Because, what, Vargas has turned a corner? Because Tim Peterson only giving up 1 home run makes him Randy McDowell? Am I supposed to believe the double play that saved Familia’s ass is sustainable defense? Today’s 3-4-5 hitters are all hitting in the .220s. deGrom has 7 no decisions in his last 9 starts despite a 1 and a half ERA. We’ve seen this show before. It doesn’t end well. The only joy in watching this team is named Brandon Nimmo.
For a normal team today’s win would be worth celebrating. Clutch hitting, strong pitching, timely defense. But this team isn’t normal. Forget it Jake, it’s the Mets.
Agony Index: Even the wins are painful when you spend the whole game waiting for the bullpen to implode. 4 outta 5 (pre-roid) Jennrys
