“Cookie Carrasco is crumbling” “Carrasco is a**” - New York Mets fans disgusted after starter Carlos Carrasco allows 4 runs against 4 Houston Astros batters

New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco got lit up by the Houston Astros in the first inning of this afternoon's game.
New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco got lit up by the Houston Astros in the first inning of this afternoon's game.

Carlos Carrasco had a rough outing today. The New York Mets' starting pitcher lasted just 2.1 innings, allowing five earned runs on four hits by the Houston Astros. The Astros had Carrasco's number in the very first inning.

Jose Altuve was first up to bat. Carrasco worked himself into a 3-0 hole in the pitch count and then proceeded to walk Altuve on six pitches. With Altuve on first base, everything went downhill for Carrasco.

On Carrasco's eighth pitch of the game, Michael Brantley hit a no-out double, sending Altuve all the way home. Then, slugger Alex Bregman took Carrasco deep on his 11th pitch of the game — a sinker he left up and inside. Four pitches later, Yordan Alvarez crushed a solo home run, extending the Astros' lead to four.

As it turned out, Carrasco was dealing with some back tightness. After recording one out in the third inning, he left the game and went down into the team's dugout for evaluation.

During his first inning disaster, though, New York Mets fans had no idea Carrasco was dealing with an injury. They were furious with his performance and made it known on Twitter.

Fans showed no mercy and offered no compassion.
