Mets are off to a good start but after last year, I’m guarding my optimism. Diaz, who they picked up from Seattle, has been as advertised but the bullpen has been spotty — they had a 6-0 lead going into the 9th inning, with hopes to give Diaz a night off l, but the pen gave up 4 runs, turning it into a dicey affair, and Diaz had to be called in to get the final out.
The mgr continues to make questionable decisions. So far, the good start has papered over some of his incompetence but eventually he will cost them games.
