The thing is, it doesn’t get easier from here.
Let’s take it on faith that the Mets are going to qualify for the postseason . Regardless of what round will kick off their October — NLDS or wild-card — they’re going to face some serious pitching.
But if you allow them to stay in games, and if you allow pitchers to gain confidence against you … that’s a different story. Then you’re in a grinding game, and it doesn’t matter if the opponent is a 95-win team or a 95-loss team: that’s going to be a tough way to survive the night. That’s how the Pirates and Marlins won their games last week.
And that was that. Francisco Lindor hit a ninth-inning homer, but the Mets didn’t frighten Cubs closer Brandon Hughes. The modest crowd exited quietly.
