Billy Eppler hasn't added quality arms in the bullpen. Buck Showalter hasn't maximized the resources on hand. The Mets’ brutal loss to Phillies is a new low as the questions mount up high, writes TimBritton.
“I was struggling a little bit with the grip,” said Brigham, who had hurriedly gone back to the rosin bag immediately before hitting Turner. “But at the end of the day, I need to make an adjustment with my mechanics and make sure I get it out there.”
“There’s no excuse,” Baty said about his own error. “That play needs to be made 10 times out of 10. It cost us the game, it cost us the series, it cost us a lot of momentum that we had coming in. … That one’s completely on me.” New York’s players have been thoroughly accountable during this stretch: “That one’s on me” has become as popular a refrain as “We’ve got a good team.”
But that resignation seeps. The defiant “We will turn it around” lines are now prefaced with a “hopefully.” For all the damage they’d done to their postseason hopes for the first 2 1/2 months, the Mets were only four games out of a playoff spot 10 days ago. That deficit has doubled in the time since.
“Everybody can critique it and talk about could-have-been and should-have-been. But we have to move on to Milwaukee,” Showalter said. “There’s better things ahead, potentially.”Subscribe to The Athletic for in-depth coverage of your favorite players, teams, leagues and clubs.
