The Mets did not bury themselves in the first month-plus, going 16-13 with Showalter saying he hopes the next week “brings traction. We have been looking for that.”
Brandon Nimmo said, “The overall feeling is optimism because when they are right, Max is a Cy Young winner and Justin was the Cy Young winner last year and so we know how good they can be. I like where we are heading. And to be quite honest, we started off really hot the past two years and things dwindled toward the end. I’m interested in how this will play out.”
Showalter has been balancing the try to win now without blowing especially his bullpen while having to use those projected to be starters No. 6 , No. 7 and No. 8 . He was hoping for three innings from Reyes in a bullpen first game Monday and got three outs instead. That the Mets fought back against Strider still did not move Showalter to use any of his big three while trailing.
And even in the nightcap, he let Megill face Eddie Rosario with the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth with a 2-0 lead and Smith ready in the pen. Rosario drilled a tying three-run double, but Showalter didn’t second-guess himself, saying, “If you don’t let some guys try to get through things now, you will blow out your bullpen before June.
Alvarez’s hit in the bottom of the inning broke the tie. And with Robertson having not pitched since Thursday and Showalter wanting to have Ottavino available Tuesday in Detroit, the manager had Robertson deliver just his fourth two-inning save of his career and second since 2017. can end this week and that Baty and Alvarez are now ready to fortify and lengthen the lineup.
