MILWAUKEE — Had any Met participated in the home opener running of the Famous Racing Sausages here — they likely would have finished dead last, well behind the brat, the Italian, the hot dog, the chorizo and even the plodding Polish.Coming off their rousing season-opening series in fast-paced Miami, the Mets seemed a step or three slow for the series opener in this unhurried Midwestern town. Mets starter Carlos Carrasco was just plain slower than needed — with both his pitches and his pace.
“The clock was a little different pace today, and we didn’t make a very good adjustment to it,” manager Buck Showalter said. “Everyone is going through some adjustment period. It’s umpires, it’s clock operators, it’s us, it’s the other team we’re playing. You better figure it out because it’s not going away.”AP
Poor Carrasco was cited for his first clock violation before even uncorking his first pitch — the very first starter to begin his outing with an 0-and-1 count. Carrasco said he tried to plead his case for only a warning with home-plate umpire Alan Porter. But that’s not how it works.
