Things are getting worse and Evan is officially worried. It was a short two game series at home with the Phillies, yet it gave us enough to scare us from what may happen the next few months.

There's no way to paint this 2 game series vs the Philadelphia Phillies other than saying it was horrific. Mets on the border of winning Monday night and Edwin Diaz blows it, and then Tuesday was a complete and udder no show.

What easily could have been a sweep, was prevented by last minute heroics from Brandon Nimmo. If only the offense could start sooner in the game and series. Some other highlights, JD Martinez hit his first homerun as a Met, Christian Scott pitched another quality start, Jeff McNeil got an impactful hit, and the return of the Black Jersey on Friday night.

The New York Mets delayed the game for an hour on Friday, but that didn't stop delaying another loss. Everything was going fine until Jose Quintana hit a wall. Strike that, Acuna Jr. hit a ball that may have yet to land, and that was a wrap.

The Mets three game homestand vs the St. Louis Cardinals turned into another bad series. Even with the addition of JD Martinez, the offense just didn't have what it takes to get big time hits in big time spots. That is until Mark Vientos stepped up in the bottom of the 12th inning on Sunday.

The Mets went into San Francisco winning 5 series in a row. That would stop after losing the first two games of the series in underwhelming fashion.

The Mets have now won 5 straight series. Francisco Lindor is hitting, Reed Garrett looks like a gem, Starling Marte looks like the Starling Marte from 2022, but injuries to Brooks Raley and even worse Francisco Alvarez put a damper to a team who started 0-5 and is now 3 games over .500.

The bullpen has been a bright spot to the Mets, and Carlos Mendoza has been able to figure out the right buttons to push. On Saturday, he pulled a Buck and used Edwin Diaz in the 8th inning. So who would close out the 9th? His name is Reed Garrett.
