Mets Player Performance Meter: Pitchers, Week 21

The pitcher meter used to be a place where you could go to find the silver lining in things when the Mets' offense was terrible and things weren't looking as good as they have since the trade deadline. Things haven't been quite as rosy here lately, especially in the bullpen, but there were still some highlights over the past week. And the Mets' best pitchers—at least so long as they are pitching—are better than their recent results.

Player	Last Week	This Week	Comment
Dario Alvarez, LHP	--	--	Back with the team as of Friday night, Alvarez has not yet pitched in a game.
Tyler Clippard, RHP			Clippard has been very good with the Mets, but he wound up with a 4.91 ERA over this week.
Bartolo Colon, RHP			With a couple of great starts, one of which was a complete-game shutout, Colon was undoubtedly the Mets’ best pitcher of the week.
Jacob deGrom, RHP			deGrom was just so-so in his lone start of the week.
Jeurys Familia, RHP			Familia only threw one inning all week, but he gave up one run in it.
Sean Gilmartin, LHP			With a 10.80 ERA for the week, it wasn’t Gilmartin at his best.
Erik Goeddel, RHP			Goeddel had a 3.86 ERA in his first week back from the DL, which is neither great nor awful.
Matt Harvey, RHP			Harvey gave up four runs in six-and-one-third innings against the Phillies, which isn’t ideal. And as you might have heard, he caused a bit of a stir this weekend.
Steven Matz, LHP			In his return from the disabled list, Matz was pretty good: 5.1 innings, 6 K, 2 BB, 2 runs. He probably would have finished the sixth inning but was pulled because of a blister on his left hand.
Jon Niese, LHP			Niese made another bad start—he’s had a string of those lately—and gets a chance to right the ship against the Nationals this afternoon.
Eric O’Flaherty, LHP			Is a 27.00 ERA bad?
Bobby Parnell, RHP			Parnell, who has clearly not been anything like his pre-surgery self, pitched very poorly in his only outing of the week.
Addison Reed, RHP	--		In four innings, Reed didn’t allow any runs, struck out three, and walked one.
Hansel Robles, RHP			Robles only pitched 1.2 innings, but he didn’t give up any runs in the process.
Noah Syndergaard, RHP		--	Syndergaard's turn in the rotation was skipped in an effort to reduce his innings workload for the season.
Carlos Torres, RHP			O’Flaherty wasn’t the only pitcher with a 27.00 ERA for the week.
