I think the Mets looked pretty unprepared out there but want to give them a small pass because the conditions were so awful it turned a team we thought would hit and not pitch the other way around. And we won a series in Cincinnati, the last victory being the most satisfying game yet so maybe they’re coming around.
Then again we’re in Atlanta.
Pitching tonight is Julio Teheran, who will be wearing No. 49. Also in the bullpen for the first time, “Cowboy” Cole Sulser, who was recalled when Yohan Ramirez was DFAed. Sulser has been issued No. 54.
RIP Jerry Grote and Pat Zachry.
And that is that for Teheran. Replaced by Dedniel Nunez who is rocking #72. He’ll eat a few bullpen innings until he (or maybe someone else) is replaced by Butto on Saturday, when the Mets will need a starter.
