Mets Player Performance Meter: Pitchers, May 26-June 1

As usual, there is much more green than red on the pitching meter, but there is also a poop emoji on this week’s meter for the first time in recent memory. Griffin Canning pitched a clunker. It happens. But the positives still far outweigh the negatives; the rotation as a whole has remained consistently excellent and Edwin Díaz is still lights out.

We’ll rip the bandage off and tackle Griffin Canning’s poor outing first. It was his worst as a Met by a significant margin. It’s true that Canning was not helped by his defense and there were some shoddy plays made behind him, but the defense didn’t make him issue four walks in just three innings of work.
