What else could have gone wrong for the New York Mets last week? Beginning with Mickey Callaway’s outburst after Sunday’s loss in Chicago, everything seemed to spiral out of control for the Metropolitans of New York.
On the field, the Mets bullpen blew five straight games including four versus the Philadelphia Phillies. Jacob deGrom took a loss which featured a confidence-shrinking performance from Robert Gsellman in a game the team was already trailing in. Then they got back to the usual business with Seth Lugo blowing his third save of the week.
