Last night’s Mets game was suboptimal, to say the least. Tylor Megill gave up eight runs against one of the worst teams in baseball, and they lost in a blowout. And there were some reasons to be a little nervous that something could go wrong today. Taijuan Walker has been struggling already this year with injuries, and some key members of the offense have been slumping a little recently.
But it’s the Nationals, and they’re terrible, so there was also a really good chance they would win the game. The Nationals’ starter, Joan Adon, has serious command issues and walks way too many people, which is something the Mets could (and would) exploit.
