David Robertson got his National League Championship ring from the Phillies before Saturday’s 4-2 Mets win — a victory he closed with a five-out save.
So Robertson knows better than most how a team’s fortunes can change even with a rough first half, since it happened in Philadelphia last season after he arrived in a trade from the Cubs.
“No one wants to be part of a team that gets split up,’’ Robertson said before picking up his 11th save of the season in the Mets’ victory at Citizens Bank Park. “That’s not an enjoyable year. You don’t want to be on a team where guys are constantly wondering about their future.” The closer entered and immediately got Bryson Stott to hit into a double play, and after allowing a one-out single to Brandon Marsh in the ninth, got another double play to end the game, this one from Josh Harrison.But a day afterin exchange for a pair of minor league pitchers, it seems there might be less time than they imagined.
“I can’t control it and I can’t worry about August when we’re still in June,’’ said Ottavino, who has been inconsistent with the Mets. “We’ve got to play right now. Obviously, we need to turn it around. We all know that. But to worry about it is counterproductive.”“He’s a starting player and he wasn’t playing here, so it’s a different kind of thing,’’ Ottavino said. “We got something for him and he gets to play, so it made sense.
