Well, cold comfort, but at least you didn't pull a Toronto and goat a huge lead.
Mets picked a terrible time to go flat. The end of the season and now this.... it's been glimmers of hope surrounded by dismal baseball. And you're paying Max for 2 more years.
The Padres rose to the occasion. Their bottom 3 was the difference, and if Grisham, Kim and Nola continue to over perform, they will continue through the playoffs. Plain and simple, they were better than the Mets in every aspect of the series. Even the Mets game 2 win was shaky at best.
If it's me, I'm letting Degrom walk. Too much $$ for too few innings. Put simply, if he wins a game or 2 down the stretch, the Mets are mowing the grass at Citi, waiting for for the Phillies.
