He hasn't been as good but I thought he looked extremely good against us last week. He had his season high in strikeouts in fewer than 5 IP. He gave up 2 ER but he looked really good for the most part.
For a team with mediocre SP and great BP pitching, did we get it wrong not utilizing the bullpen more? Like if we don't come back and win/get the lead then Joel Payamps will be the only RP to touch the mound with a lead.
Through 4 innings the Brewers have 1 batted ball that wasn't a ground ball or pop up (the Chourio HR to leadoff the game). Hard to score runs when you're not hitting line drives and fly balls.
We can be serious and call Chourio botching an 85% catch probability liner and Payamps not covering 1B as errors even if the archaic error system doesn't consider them to be.
Mets won game 2 against San Diego back in 2022. That's the only time a team has lost game 1 and won another game in the series. Teams going down 1-0 are 0-9 in series with a 1-9 record following game 1.
I think the only way Mitchell plays over Frelick is if Frelick can't go 2 days in a row. Frelick started against LHP with Mitchell on the bench during the stretch run.
