Mets started a middle-reliever to set-up their starting pitcher

Is this a new trend or special circumstance for the Mets? I haven't watched very much MLB over the past several seasons so I'm not current on the most recent analytics. I briefly caught the announcers saying it was to keep their SP from facing the top of the lineup more than once.

how the hell does a team with that much talent suck that bad?
They are 15 games out of the division in June. They are paying a shite ton of money for their ineptitude

This has been going on for years. They're called openers and bulk guys.

Did they mean twice?
If a starter can't go through the lineup twice (usually 4 or 5 innings) in most starts, then he shouldn't be a starter.

I believe they are called "Fluffers" in another industry.

Well apparently, he isn't. Looks like the "middle-reliever" is the starter

They are bad but the Braves a crushing it if they were in the central they would be in striking distance

The Rays really popularized it to start the 2018 season. It should be done more but people are stubborn

Rangers did it a few weeks ago with Kumar Rocker. He had almost 7 IP after coming into game in second inning.
