Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 5165486, member: 27"] Mets got three outstanding efforts from their starting pitchers. Won game 1 easily in a laugher. But Lindor went into second awkwardly late in the game and 'tweaked' his back. He left the game, did not play Saturday, tried to play Sunday but had to leave after 1 inning. Despite this the Mets Ggt off to a 4-0 start in game two, but Severino got tired late/Mendoza left him in too long, and he gave up a second HR to Harper to close to 4-3. Danny Young was bad in one of his first big moments pitching the eighth, Garrett Reed almost got them out of it but did not. Lost 6-4. Third game, Peterson was terrific and brought a shutout into the eighth. Mendoza again stayed with him, going against all analytics and again got burned doing this. It should be noted the Met relievers are no great shakes right now. Nunez is hurt and out for the season. Maton and Butto seem the most reliable and Diaz has been reasonably good the past couple of weeks. But I think Maton pitched 1/2 of an inning and Butto did not pitch at all in the biggest series of the season. I like Mendoza but it is hard to defend this. Hope Lindor's MRI today looks good and he makes a quick recovery. Starting a rookie who made a ton of errors at Syracuse at shortstop in the middle of a pennant race is not recommended. On the positive side, when Acuna got the call to NY, it opened a spot for Jett Williams to get called up from Binghamton to Syracuse. Jett has been hurt almost all season and has been struggling in Binghamton but maybe the move to Syracuse is what he needs to get going. He is said to be a great athlete. He arrives in Syracuse just in time for the final homestand of the regular season. I know I will stop by to see how the kid looks. Hope others can as well. ;) [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.si.com/mlb/mets/news/new-york-mets-promote-exciting-top-prospect-to-triple-a-john9[/URL] [/QUOTE]
