Two words as to how the Mets lost today: Clayton Kershaw. He has everything working today. It helped that Kershaw was facing the Mets lineup though. This offense couldn't get anything working against the reigning Cy Young and MVP award winner.
Chances are even if the Mets had fielded a MLB lineup instead of a AA lineup, they still would have lost. I don't understand how Mayberry is batting fourth. Lefty or not, he shouldn't be batting fourth. He's a bench player that could bat six or lower. If the Mets can put Mayberry fourth why not put deGrom fourth or fifth in this lineup? And no, that's not a joke! Put deGrom higher in the lineup. If you can bat deGrom eighth and Mayberry fourth, why not deGrom fourth and Mayberry eighth? Maybe that would wake up the bats.
Clayton Kershaw, just doing what he does best, striking out batters and winning games...Hopefully one of the Mets pitchers end up half as good as him.
