Another day, another injury, another loss
After last night’s game, in which Carlos Carrasco strained his left oblique (which will cause him to miss at least 3-4 weeks) and the Mets got their metaphorical lunch eaten by the Braves, they were looking to bounce back with Taijuan Walker on the mound. But of course, nothing with the Mets can be easy. Eduardo Escobar was a late scratch a few hours before the game, which led to the Mets starting both Michael Pérez and Deven Marrero, which…well it leaves a lot to be desired. However, you can never count out the Mets, especially with a strong top part of the lineup, there’s always a chance, although maybe less of one facing Charlie Morton.
