Jared Polis joined "Colorado Point of View" this week to talk about it.Twelve counties joined Advance Colorado in a lawsuit over the wording of Gov.

Mets’ lack of left-handed relief pitching is hurting team in key moments

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:11:05 GMT

ATLANTA — The Mets thought they had found a solution to their lack of left-handed relief pitching with Adam Ottavino this season. But right now, the Mets are being exposed for every mistake they make and not carrying two left-handers in the bullpen might be one of those mistakes.Situational left-handers have sort of gone by the wayside with the three-batter minimum rule, and there are right-handers that boast good splits against left-handed hitters. But there are times when the Mets could have used a lefty in big spots.The only left-hander in the bullpen is Brooks Raley, and the Mets view him as a high-leverage reliever, which makes it tough to use him in middle-inning situations that might dictate the need for a lefty.Raley came into Wednesday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves with two out and none on in the bottom of the seventh to face left-handed hitter Eddie Rosario then remained in the game for the bottom of the eighth to face switch-hitter Ozzie Albies and r...
