It’s tough to give up double digit walks and win. And the Mets allowed 10 BB and fell to the Pirates, 7-4, Tuesday night at Citi Field. In addition to the 10 walks, the Pirates also had nine hits and two HBPs. And as crazy as it may seem, this was a 1-1 game after [...]
After winning back-to-back games, the Mets are now 4-10 in the month of August. Their poor record is due to a variety of reasons but the three most likely culprits are facing good teams in the Orioles and Braves, a completely-expected swoon after the trade-deadline selloff and the remaining players on the team just not [...]
