I think Nunez comes up after the 6th starter to try and find another high-leverage arm. This obviously isn’t directed at Megill yesterday, but overall we need more length out of the starters. The bullpen over-performed dramatically for the first 25 games. That covered for starters only going 5 routinely despite extra rest. That can’t remain the norm. The only way you win games with that lack of length is to have perfection from 4 different bullpen arms every day. It’s not sustainable.
"In the end, the details don’t even totally matter." !?!? Huh? The details nearly rendered me suicidal. Btw, is it my imagination or is throwing a persistent weakness of Alonso? If you look at yesterday's game and the first game of the series, the Mets' fielding has been atrocious. Anybody notice we have 3 regulars hitting under .200? At least a few good things happened yesterday: my boy Megill did it again, Torrens continues to hit, and Soto got on base four times.

That was rough. Stanek can’t close anymore. Megill is looking awesome 👏 gotta win today to put that loss behind us
Rough indeed. Remember that game a few years ago against the Phillies down the stretch when they lost 11-10?
Yep! I think that was against the Nats actually
