After The Trade Deadline, The Mets Need More From Their Holdovers
In 2000 and 2015, the Mets built off a busy trade deadline with series sweeps that turned out to be defining moments in their World Series push. The Mets can only hope their inability to author a sweep this weekend won't end up the defining moment of this season. While the Mets didn't have the worst weekend in New York baseball — mission accomplished in that regard, Brian Cashman — their series loss to the Giants, capped by a 12-4 rout Sunday, did shine a brighter light on the underlying issues that David Stearns couldn't or wouldn't address at the deadline. First the couldn't: This isn't fantasy baseball, so there was nothing Stearns could really do to jolt the top half of the lineup. But if the Mets' core veterans — Brandon Nimmo, Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto and Pete Alonso — don't start hitting, a bullpen comprised entirely of Mariano Rivera clones is going to have a hard time getting the Mets to the playoffs, never mind winning it all. Nimmo, Lindor, Soto and Alonso offered up the template the Mets need for a deep playoff run by combining to go 9-of-17 with 10 RBIs in Saturday's 12-6 win. They finished the weekend with five extra-base hits. But such production is an outlier for a quartet that is batting .234 with 32 homers and 103 RBIs since June 13 — a 43-game span in which the Mets are 18-25 while scoring 173 runs, tied for the fourth-fewest in the majors with the Twins, with whom no playoff contender wants to be compared. And the five extra-base hits give the foursome just 17 extra-base hits in 15 games since the All-Star Break. The struggles on offense are long-lasting and concerning, but not nearly as long-lasting or concerning as the issues within the rotation. David Peterson is the only Mets starter to pitch beyond the sixth since June 1, a 53-game stretch that represents almost exactly a third of the season. Even more alarming, the only pitchers other than Peterson to even record an out in the sixth in 27 games since July 1 are Clay Holmes and Frankie Montas, who have done so twice apiece. Neither Holmes, who is trying to complete the transition from the bullpen to the rotation, nor Montas look like pitchers the Mets can rely upon even for a handful of innings as potential postseason starters. The Mets, of course, are just one of 30 teams that can't find enough starting pitching thanks to the way the game has 'progressed.' Twenty-five years ago last week, Bobby Jones completed a post-deadline sweep of the Cardinals by tossing a 118-pitch complete game in a 4-2 win. Really. A 118-pitch complete game. In this century. Stearns not adding a frontline starter last week suggests the price was exorbitant and indicated some faith not only in the Mets' current options providing more length over the rest of the summer — Montas, Sean Manaea and Kodai Senga are all coming back from injuries — but also prospects such as Nolan McLean and Brandon Sproat, each of whom are thriving at Triple-A Syracuse. But the urgency to find an internal upgrade increased over the weekend, when Senga and Montas lasted just four innings apiece in the final two games against the Giants. While the best arms in the bullpen patched together 15 outs Saturday, there was no going to the well a second time Sunday, especially after Montas put the Mets in a 7-1 hole. 'It's a tough spot because we did it (Saturday), but I don't know that we had enough to get through nine innings throwing all the high-leverage guys,' Carlos Mendoza said. At least those new high-leverage guys fared well in their New York debuts. Ryan Helsley, Tyler Rogers and Gregory Soto have combined to allow an unearned run with seven strikeouts over their first 4 1/3 innings with the Mets. Helsley, who spent the first 10-plus years of his career in the Cardinals organization, evoked memories of the Mets' 2000 post-trade deadline surge by saying Friday felt like the first day of school. After Robin Ventura distributed name tags following the deadline 25 years ago, Mike Bordick and Bubba Trammell each homered in their first at-bat with their new team and Rick White earned the win in his debut. But there were nowhere near as many positive signs over the weekend from the holdover Mets who are going to determine how far this team goes. 'He's got to be better,' Mendoza said of Montas. Unfortunately for the Mets, he's not the only one.

Local golf: Carlowden ends long wait for NNY 6-Man title; C-Way's Barton wins individual title
Aug. 4—The team from the Lewis County triangle of Carthage, Lowville and Denmark on Sunday used outstanding team depth to win the title for the third time in the event's 89 year history and the 11th time it was staged at the Gouverneur Country Club. Brandon Mothersell (75-69-144), Scott Taylor 73-72-145 and Kyle Nichols 71-76-147 led the way and team members Justin Taylor (156), Rob Hayes (171) and Anthony Burgess (160) rounded out the effort. Carlowden also produced the tournament's junior champion in Eli McCue and senior champion in Todd Slate with both golfers finishing at 145. Carlowden opened a 438-449 first day lead over the Partridge Run Country Club of Canton and finished with an 881-892 margin over Malone, which shared second day honors with Gouverneur at 440. Potsdam placed third with a score of 893 and Gouverneur took fourth at 897. Taylor said the methodically-won title came from an organized effort starting with a dramatic upgrade in the course. "We have had an influx of new members but it all started with our outstanding staff. our director of golf Matt Russell and Ken Hodge and Dana Hodge have really done an outstanding job," Taylor said. "It think we have the best greens and the best course in the area." Taylor also said the effort of the Gouverneur Country Club to host the tournament on its nine-hole tract was second to none. "Gouverneur did a great job and deserve a lot of credit," he said. Tournament director Bart Kidwell called the event three days of outstanding golf with countless hours of preparation by volunteers. "The course is owned an maintained by the members and a lot of members volunteered a lot of hours over the three days doing everything from spotting on the course to cooking food," said Kidwell. Club member Ken Augliano was quick to interject the role of Kidwell's leadership. "Bart Kidwell is a volunteer and directed the tournament. He didn't play and he put in a lot of hours getting things ready," said Augliano. "And I want to thank all the players who came in put on a great display on how to play golf." Nobody played better than Matt Barton of the C-Way Golf Club in Clayton who claimed the individual title with a two-day total of 139 and prevailed on the final hole with a one-stroke margin of Jack Finnerty of Partridge Run. The duel went down to the final shot on the par five 18th hole where Barton made a birdie putt and Finnerty was unable to get up and down after hitting the ball over the green on his second shot. Barton stayed in his comfort zone throughout his 36 holes on his first time playing the course. "I had never even seen the course before this weekend. For me it was all about wedges. I had a lot of 90 to 100 to 110 yard shots and wedge play was solid. Not a lot can go wrong if you have a lot of 10-foot birdie putts," said the former Thousand Islands standout. Raine Rumble of Gouverneur placed third at 141. Tom Smith of Potsdam took the super senior title at 151 one stroke ahead of Craig Woods of Gouverneur and Chris Denesha of C-Way won the director's title. Ryan Patenaude of Malone and Cooper Lovely of Potsdam tied for second in the junior division at 148. Deane Manning of Thompson Park of Watertown and Bruce Weiner of St. Lawrence tied fro second place in the super senior division at 157. Tournament leaders: Carlowden 438-444-882 (Brandon Mothersell 75-69-144), Malone 451-440- 891 (Blake Pritchard 71-73-144) Potsdam 450-443- 893 (Tyler Berkman 73-73-146), Gouverneur 457-440-887, (Raine Rumble 74-67-141), Partridge Run 449-449-898 (Jack Finnerty 69-71-140), Massena 442-448-900 (Colin Patterson 73-72-145), C-Way 446-455-901 (Matt Barton 139), Thompson Park 457-450-907 (Josh Woodward 70-74-144), St. Lawrence University 463-466-929 (Ryan Jones 76-78-154, Scott Nickerson 78-76-154), Ives Hill 491-476-967 (Kalani Zehr 79-77-156) and Tupper Lake 479-456-992 (Jim Boucher 77-72-149).
