The New York Mets have a great team. They have great starting pitching, hitting, and defense. They lack relief pitching. Their bullpen includes A. Heilman, L. Ayala, D. Sanchez, P. Feliciano, S. Schoeneweis, B. Stokes, and J. Smith. The bullpen ERA is over 5.00. Aaron Heilman, is considered to have the best talent in the bullpen but is not producing. The bullpen has no luck and they have no stuff on their pitches. The bullpen is hurting the team. The hot Phillies are creeping up on the back of the New York Mets for 1st place. John Maine is expected to be out for the season. The New York Mets bats need to continue producing runs and hits for any chance of a postseason run. Billy Wagner is the closer of the Mets but is expected back in a few weeks from a strained left forearm if he is feeling healthy. He currently has 27 saves, 2.30 ERA, and 52 strikeouts for the Mets this year. The Mets hope to have Billy Wagner back very soon to help out.
