I find John Delcos to be a daily must-read. He’s one of the few remaining that haven’t bought into The Narrative that the Mets are better. There is some potential on paper, but I still find the manager reckless with injuries, and MLB is still counting Team Wins as the way they determine the championship.
How many plays in those games did Harvey not make, by either giving up a walk, not closing out a hitter or inning, or failing to put down a sacrifice? It’s tight as the Mets lost 11 of those games by a combined 18 runs. There is plenty of responsibility to go around, by Harvey and his teammates. One less bad pitch; one more hit.
Great teams, and great players, make the plays, and “great’’ can’t be applied to, either Harvey or the Mets. Not now, anyway.
