The article discusses the recent performance of the New York Mets, emphasizing a game against the Diamondbacks that was characterized by sloppy play and missed opportunities. It recounts how key players failed to perform, contributing to a disappointing loss. Despite these issues, the article notes that one positive aspect was Brandon Nimmo's decision to continue playing after showing signs of injury. The Mets' struggles have been evident not just in this game, but in recent series overall, leaving fans concerned about the team's direction.
9:40 pm starts are to be regarded with suspicion even when the baseball they produce goes well - surely one could be doing something more worthwhile with one's time, starting with sleeping.
The Mets played butterfingered, uninspiring baseball against the Diamondbacks, with Mark Vientos, Francisco Alvarez and Tyrone Taylor undermining David Peterson with misplays.
The Mets scored their lone run on a bases-loaded walk against Gallen, failing to do further damage when Starling Marte was punched out on three pitches.
Perhaps the best news was what didn't happen: Brandon Nimmo came up favoring his knee in the fourth inning and talked Carlos Mendoza into letting him stay out there.
