The ump blew a call on a strike with the leadoff batter in the eighth that should have struck him out.  He later was walked.

And then defensive replacement Joey Wendle could have gotten the runner trying to score at home but opted to try and get a double play.  And bumbled the ball in his glove long enough to prevent that from happening.

Just an unfortunate series of issues led to the run for the Cubs.

Diaz gave up a home run almost immediately in the ninth to give the game away.  He has been struggling for a while now.  Not the same pitcher he was last year so far.  Hopefully he will dial it back in soon.

Not sure if this team is going to be good offensively.

I was surprised when the Mets signed Martinez.  Was down with giving the DH job to Vientos and seeing what the kid has.  I thought the play was to see if he was a player at the MLB level.

If he proved he can hit in the big leagues, great.  Make him the full time DH.  If Pete has a bad walk year or wants a crazy amount of money to re-sign, trade Alonso or just don't re-sign him and make Vientos the 1B.

Hopefully Marte returns soon and helps spark this offense.   So many runners get left in scoring position so often.  It is hard to watch.
