Yesterday was promising... Mets bats seemed to wake up against a really good pitcher in Nola. Both pitchers looked really good... Stroman was dominant. Familia was actually throwing strikes and as one of the announcers pointed out, if Familia can throw strikes he can go back to being a dominant pitcher.

The most concerning point to me is that Conforto looks completely lost at the plate.

I also think we are still 2 pitchers short for how poorly this team hits with RISP and for how bad the pen has looked. Until Mets batters do better, our pitching staff needs to keep the opponent to 3 runs or less and as bad as our pen has looked, we need starters to go 6 minimum and hopefully 7. Lugo will be back and Carrasco and Thor will be back at some point and a staff where this version of Walker is our #5 pitcher is going to be fun to watch. Mets need to tread water until that point and that means the bats will have to win some 7-5 type games.
