Jose Quintana’s Struggles Run Deeper Than Just His Last Start

Entering the season, arguably the biggest question mark surrounding the New York Mets was their starting rotation. After beginning the season strong, the unit has regressed mightily to where several feared it may project to be prior to the season. Specifically, prior to Saturday’s game, the unit ranks 21st in staff ERA (4.34) and 20th in staff WAR (1.8). Earlier on in the season, these numbers ranked near the top in the major leagues.

One of the main contributors to these struggles is veteran Jose Quintana.
