Well actually, it’s not. (If it was, I’d be sitting back and counting all that advertising money coming to me.) But Michael Conforto’s ninth inning home run to beat the Marlins was exactly what the Mets needed to freshen up the stench of what happened in the bottom of the 8th.
So there was talk before the bottom of the eighth as the Mets were building a 3-1 lead that the Mets were holding back Seth Lugo because, at least this is what Luis Rojas had hinted at, that Lugo was actually starting tomorrow! It’s seismic shift in Mets thinking, as Lugo has been stellar out of the bullpen in recent seasons. But with the state of the rotation being what it is (outside of Jacob deGrom who returned from a stiff neck with a great six inning outing … giving up four hits and no walks with seven strikeouts), it’s apparent that the Mets are getting a little bit desperate, as this season, less than a month in, is nearly half over.

Edwin has been other-worldly recently, but cannot walk a dude in that spot. He is, to be sure, a K machine.
