Mets bullpen remains concern after another rough outing following All-Star break
Freshly out of the stars break with a completely rested set of weapons, the Mets enclosure was still struggled on Friday evening in their 8-4 defeat against the Reds of Cincinnati.
Choose to go with Sean Manaeawhich is not yet completely stretched after a long rehabilitation process, to start the second half meant that New York should count on its enclosure of the lifts to obtain late outs.
After Manaea went the first four heats, which looks good in the process, manager Carlos Mendoza turned to Alex Carillo In the fifth round as the first lifter of the lift enclosure with the leading dishes, 2-1. This advance quickly turned into a deficit after Carillo made a two -point circuit Matt Mclain.
"I needed to cover five rounds there," Said Mendoza. "We take a look at these guys here and that has not happened today with him."
Still a match at a point after crossing the fifth, Carillo was invited to come back for the sixth, but things got worse for the right -hander. Carillo granted two other rounds in the round, a solo fired by Austin Hays (his second in the match) and an explosion of two points Tyler Stephenson It put the game in bed.
Make his third career appearance and first at Citi Field, Carillo made 1.1 rounds and granted five points deserved on three strokes (all circuits) and two steps. The 28 -year -old mentioned "Try too much" In his home beginnings as if he had not had it on Friday evening.
"The quick ball has always done its thing and they just put the bat there," He said. "It’s a good strike team. They are big league strikers, they will strike circuits, but with regard to walks, it is not acceptable in my name. By pulling the cursor a little, just change to stay away and not to competition as I should be."
In the end in the sixth round with all his enclosure at his disposal, Mendoza’s decision to stick to Carillo, a recruit that made his major league debut on July 8, was a head of head.
"I needed to take out a couple from him," Said the skipper. "It did not happen today."
Overall, even with Brooks Raley The activation of the IL which certainly helps, the enclosure of the dishes is fragile. Brandon WaddellAnother unproven arm which has contributed to certain situations this season, married and granted two points deserved in 3.2 rounds while abandoning four strokes and three goals on balls.
Jose Buttó Friday, launched an aimless round with Triple-A Syracuse and her return will facilitate part of the burden, but for New York to succeed, she will have to draw the duration of her beginners. Until then, Mendoza will have to continue to go with readers who could run out of pitching experience in high-level situations.
"Guys will intervene," He said. "We feel comfortable with the guys we have there. Today was one of those nights when Carillo did not. But overall, we will continue to give opportunities to some of these guys … We will continue to assess the situation here while we are trying to win baseball matches, of course."
