On Sunday, the Mets established an early 7-1 lead against the Nationals, driven by a strong performance from Tylor Megill, who pitched six innings allowing only one run. Despite feeling optimistic initially, there was an underlying sense of unease regarding the Mets' ability to maintain their lead. Observing both the Nationals' starter combatting difficulties and fielders struggling with the sun added to this discomfort. Ultimately, the game reflected a familiar anxiety for Mets fans as the comfortable lead felt fragile, suggesting a looming potential for a turnaround in the gameâs dynamics.
I was willing to wave it away because the score was 7-1 after six, and Tylor, continuing to live up to my Bobby Jones 1997 comparison.
Any time a pitcher primed for the hook bears down and perseveres seems like a harbinger of something.
