the season is just getting started

Small sample size at 5 games. It's a wash right now. Losing by 3 last night pulls things in the wrong direction. Compounding things, the quality of contact tells the story: 0.323 xwOBA, just 22.9% hard-hit rate.

Mets News

The New York Mets were brought back down to earth with a disheartening 3-0 shutout loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, squandering a solid start from Kodai Senga, who showcased a blistering 99 mph fastball despite the lack of support from a lifeless offense. After a promising 4-2 victory the day before, this defeat raises concerns about the team's consistency and ability to capitalize on strong pitching performances. As the lineup struggles, the Mets have brought in J.D. Martinez as a special advisor to help bolster their hitting approach, mirroring tactics from the past with Carlos Beltrán. With just four games into the season, the Mets sit at a lukewarm 3-1, leaving fans both hopeful and frustrated as they navigate these early inconsistencies.
