Mets’ Season Is Looking Like a Rerun of Last Year’s Awful Show

The Mets shed another pitcher from their 2015 World Series team on Friday, designating for assignment the hard-throwing reliever Hansel Robles. Manager Mickey Callaway, a well-regarded former pitching coach, could not halt Robles’s steady decline.

“You kept on seeing the same thing,” Callaway said, explaining that Robles could not make the proper adjustments. “It looked like it wasn’t going to happen for us.”

Callaway could have been describing the Mets as a whole. We keep seeing the same thing, and it looks like it isn’t going to happen for them. Injured superstars with no timetable to return.
