Jarred Kelenic's Promotion and Edwin Diaz's Brutal Blown Save Create Most 'Classic Mets' Day Ever

At this point, I don't think anything the Mets do to disappoint should come as a surprise, but nevertheless, they continue to amaze even the most dedicated of fans.

Just one day after a triumphant win on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Mets proceeded to suffer their worst loss of the season on Wednesday night.

Just when things looked like they may be starting to look up, they come crashing back down, and a game that was 8-3 New York, with runners on second and third and no outs in the seventh, eventually turned into a 9-8 loss.

The Mets currently have 28 losses total, of course, but no loss has been as painful as the one they suffered Wednesday night. Up three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning with big ticket closer Edwin Diaz coming in, a victory seemed all but secured. Back-to-back home runs to start the inning by Joc Pederson and Max Muncy, followed by a double by former Met Justin Turner, immediately flipped the script. Mickey Callaway kept Diaz in to try to wiggle out of the jam he created, but he ended up surrendering a walk-off sacrifice fly to Alex Verdugo, the only out he recorded.

Of course, the man they surrendered in this past winter's Diaz deal...is exceeding expectations, further pouring salt into the wound.

This loss came just 24 hours after the Mariners promoted the prospect the Mets surrendered for Diaz, Jarred Kelenic. The 19-year-old is now at High-A, after hitting .303 with 10 homers and 26 RBI at his initial level. The Mets did not want to include Kelenic in the deal, but felt it was a worthy price to pay for a closer who many believed coming into the season to be among the best in baseball.

Instead, he's been used in eight out of 11 games for a middling team, wilting as he goes.

If Kelenic ends up turning into a star for the Mariners, we may have to start holding support group meetings for Mets fans. Just another 24 hours in Flushing, we guess.
