That\u2019s part of it. But the biggest issue is this:<\/p>\n<p>The Mets are winning \u2014 and won again in the opening game Tuesday, topping the Cardinals 3-1, before falling in the nightcap 4-3 (despite their usual ninth-inning dramatics). And when you are winning, people tend to be in good moods. And there are a lot of good moods at Citi Field these days: on the field, in the clubhouse, in the stands, in the front office. And you know what\u2019s easy to have when you\u2019re in a good mood?<\/p>\n<p>Patience is easy to have.<\/p>\n<p>Last year \u2014 really, pick your year \u2014 the first and, frankly, only reaction among the rank-and-file in Mets Nation would be deflation. That\u2019s actually not a criticism, it was just reality. In those years the Mets drew so much of their oxygen off deGrom, even on days he wasn\u2019t pitching. For now, deGrom is one name on the roster \u2014 well, for now, one name on the 60-day IL \u2014 so the notion that the new best-case is probably July 1 can be taken in stride.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1397810057.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Mets\" class=\"wp-image-22310884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1397810057.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1397810057.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/1397810057.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Eduardo Escobar celebrates with Jeff McNeil. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In past years, the teeth of the pregame statement issued by the team \u2014 \u201cJacob deGrom underwent follow-up imaging [Monday] that revealed continued healing in the scapula\u201d \u2014 would have been studied and examined and analyzed inside out and upside down.<\/p>\n<p>Using Mets-ese Rosetta Stone that would translate, at the start, from an unprintable spasm of dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointment that deGrom isn\u2019t throwing off a mound yet to despair that in the interim the Mets are cooked to, at day\u2019s end, arriving at a final verdict: \u201cSee you (somewhere) in 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=NYPH9026292029&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Instead, common sense prevails. Patience is indeed a virtue.

And believed.<\/p>\n<p>It helps, of course, that more often than not the Mets have figured out their rotation to such an extent that Tuesday\u2019s first-game fill-in for Tylor Megill \u2014 journeyman righty Trevor Williams \u2014 threw four spotless innings, allowing the Mets to chip away at St. Louis\u2019 Miles Mikolas and build a 3-0 lead to hand over to the bullpen.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/20220327_MetsCardinalsSpringTraining033cs.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Mets\" class=\"wp-image-22310876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/20220327_MetsCardinalsSpringTraining033cs.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/20220327_MetsCardinalsSpringTraining033cs.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/20220327_MetsCardinalsSpringTraining033cs.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Jacob deGrom<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Corey Sipkin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy to contribute,\u201d Williams said. \u201cIt\u2019s what my job is, to save he bullpen, and I\u2019m glad I was able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA real shot in the arm,\u201d manager Buck Showalter said.<\/p>\n<p>Last year was an extreme example of how much deGrom has been the sun in the Mets\u2019 solar system since he became the consensus best pitcher in the business in 2018.

The Mets have already encountered their share of issues, even discounting deGrom; Starling Marte went to the bereavement list Tuesday and could be gone as long as a week. Brandon Nimmo fouled a ball off his quad and will probably need to miss at least a game or two.<\/p>\n<p>And still they salvaged a split.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019ll be something else around the corner, too,\u201d Showalter said. \u201cGuys have to perform \u2026 it\u2019s a never-ending proving ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So far, the Mets have checked most of the boxes. That inspires confidence among the constituents, and faith, and maybe even a little bit of patience. Baseball is supposed to be fun, after all.
