Ravaged by 21 by the Gnats, but the Mets at least tried to make the best of it in trying to make Jose Reyes' arm fall off in a 48-pitch eighth inning in which he surrendered six runs.

I say start him today in lieu of Syndergaard, because last year's Anthony Rendon Game (6-6, 3 HR, 2B, 10 RBI in a 23-5 massacre) was also a Syndergaard start. I say give Reyes the chance to be a reverse-engineered, latter-day Rick Ankiel, just with more success. They have more in common than you might think, given that both dragged their carcasses onto the Mets roster before finally giving up their major league ghosts...
