Bumgarner is great but the Mets beat themselves by displaying an appalling lack of plate discipline, swinging at high fastballs and making 3 outs on 8 pitches in one inning, allowing the guy to pitch a complete game shutout with barely over 100 pitches.

Of course, the Mets closer Familia is rivaled only by Fernando Rodney in his ability to suck when it really counts.

No reason to bring that loser in unless the Mets had a lead.

Good post. I'm not even a fan of the Mets, but it was embarrassing to see their hitters flailing away at pitches out of the strike zone -- even early in the count.

Syndergaard actually outpitched Bumgarner through seven innings. He didn't give up a hit until the sixth, and struck out ten Giants through seven innings.
