So after all of that, the Mets and Yankees finished right where they started.<\/p>\n
Of all the Yankees\/Mets series that have been played in the regular season, this group of six games was probably the most bizarre group of games ever played between the two rivals from different sides of the tracks. And it all ended with the two teams being even … both probably thinking they should have taken five of the six games.<\/p>\n
Thursday’s game was a microcosm of lunacy. The Robert Gsellman experiment continued to bubble out of the test tube as he couldn’t get out of the second inning, giving up four runs in an inning and two thirds and leaving the bases loaded for Chasen Shreve, who got the biggest out of the game by getting Mike Ford to line out to center to stop the bleeding at 4-0. The Gsellman experiment should probably end here. It was a valiant effort by the Mets to think outside the box, but this was his fourth start and not only is Gsellman not stretching out, he’s regressing. The Mets have a perfectly good starter who is hanging out in the bullpen in David Peterson who might need to hightail it back to the rotation. Quite frankly, I don’t know if I trust Gsellman in a relief role much less the rotation.<\/p>\n
Shreve held the Yankees scoreless long enough for the Mets to strike Gsellman from the pitching ledger and tie the game. Todd Frazier started with a solo home run in the second, and then helped by a Frazier leadoff double in the fourth off J.A. Happ (who the Mets could barely touch at Yankee Stadium), the Mets turned four two-out hits by Jake Marisnick, Amed Rosario, Robinson Chirinos and Jeff McNeil into three runs to even the score. Jeurys Familia then kept the Yankees at arm’s length with two scoreless innings of his own.<\/p>\n
