The Mets obliterated the Braves in a brutal 11-run demolition, but the real story was the heartbreak for Braves’ rookie pitcher Connor Thomas — his fourth career start ended in disaster as he surrendered 11 runs in under three innings, including three homers and five walks. Broadcasters Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling, and Gary Cohen were stunned, calling it “criminal” and “disgusting,” while manager Walt Weiss stubbornly kept Thomas in for 78 pitches. The Braves’ bullpen was stretched thin after five straight one-run games, but sending an unready rookie into a high-leverage situation backfired spectacularly. Thomas faced 23 batters, got just eight outs, and was likely headed back to the minors — a painful reminder of baseball’s brutal “wearing it” philosophy and the high stakes of roster decisions.
