It's been a rough couple of days watching this Mets team. Mostly, it's all because of the bullpen. The team has lost three of its last five, but two of those loses are a direct relation to a faulty bullpen. A leaky faucet that can't be shut off.
The team made a move to help address the issue, sending reliever DJ Carrasco packing and bringing up Robert Carsons. Maybe a new, fresh arm is something that can help this team. But maybe not. Who knows? The bullpen, all across the majors, is the biggest question mark, all the time. Some years teams have a great one, and other years they stink. And sometimes that changes every month. Or week.
This bullpen does need to turn it around though. They need to get hot and become reliable. The National League East is extremely tight. All five times are within four games of each other. Every game matters.
