The Mets faced a shocking loss against the Braves despite a promising start. David Peterson, the team's only reliable starting pitcher, initially led with good performance. However, he lost control, resulting in a rapid loss of a substantial lead. This disappointing outcome reflects a recurring issue with the Mets: starters failing to pitch deep into games, which strains the bullpen, and an offense that has been weak throughout the season. The pattern of poor performances has become evident during the team's long summer struggles.
Perhaps the only good thing about Wednesday night's belated loss to the Braves was that I found it hard to take it personally.
Before you could blink Peterson had lost the strike zone, surrendered 5/6 of the lead and departed in the fourth inning, a depressingly familiar sight for a Mets starter but a shocking one for him.
