Not a lot to say about the Mets-Braves finale from Sunday. Atlanta is just going to have those kinds of games sometimes.
I was pretty hard on Williams Perez after his last start. I could continue to pile on, though as Fred noted in yesterday’s recap, it’s certainly possible that something is still not right with the Atlanta Braves‘ right-hander. That certainly makes sense, though this also suggests that Perez allowed himself to be rushed back into service.
I will go ahead and predict that this is the last we see of Perez this season, as the team should shut him down to get fully healed up.
This is unfortunately the lot we have for the rest of the season: cobbling together some semblance of a rotation to get somebody through at least 5 innings when one of the “regulars” isn’t pitching.
Three weeks to go… hang in there, Braves Country!
