The first few games of the Mets season epitomize how stressful it can be to be a Mets fan.
In the Mets' first game, Jacob deGrom pitched six scoreless innings. He struck out seven batters and hit two singles. deGrom left the game with a 2-0 lead. Continuing an unfortunate trend, the Mets blew the lead and lost the game 3-5. An attempted comeback fell short.
The Mets fared much better in their second game. They got a strong pitching performance from Marcus Stroman, actually scored runs for him, and won 8-4. But the Mets looked bad in the later innings. I was afraid they would blow the lead and lose this game too.
Today, hopes that the Mets would win the game and series were dashed in the first inning when pitcher David Peterson gave up four runs. While Peterson settled down for another few innings, the Mets went 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position.
Sigh. I might have been okay with today's game (well not exactly okay) if the Mets had managed to win the game they should have won for their ace.
Can I hope for something better for tomorrow's home opener?
