Though he only gave up three runs, his velocity was down. That … [Read more...] about As Expected: Mets 4, Phillies 2

They obviously do, but they look like they just don’t care that they’re playing poorly. It’s almost like they’re just waiting for the good baseball to kick in, starting today now that June is here.
