Before there was carnage, the Mets actually had a chance in this game.
Let’s be honest: Sean Newcomb was abysmal. He had a fifty run lead and couldn’t get to the fifth. He threw 42 balls in 82 pitches, and he threw six first pitch strikes in 17 batters. Newcomb should have been shelled. But in the three biggest at bats for the Mets, Yoenis Cespedes struck out after being ahead 3-0, and struck out on a check swing on what was clearly ball four with runners on first ans second and one out. Michael Conforto immediately followed with a check swing roller to third for the force out to end the inning. Then in the second after Brandon Nimmo drove home a run with a double to close the Braves lead to 2-1, Amed Rosario (batting leadoff) tried to pull an outside pitch and grounded out to short to end the inning.
