Cool

a rough stretch

Not a great stretch. 2-5 in their last 7. Not the week they wanted. Pair that with 3.1 R/G this week. The bats need to wake up.

Mets News

The Mets are in a freefall as they suffered yet another setback, falling 4-3 to the Dodgers, proving that Steve Cohen's dream of turning this team into an East Coast version of the defending champions is miles away from reality. Nolan McLean pitched admirably, allowing just two earned runs over six innings with seven strikeouts, but the team's fielding mistakes and inconsistent offense,averaging a dismal 3.3 runs per game this week,left them stranded. To make matters worse, Juan Soto's left calf strain has now landed him on the injured list again, compounding the lineup's struggles. As the Mets head into their next matchup, the air is thick with frustration and disappointment, with a 43-61 record that feels far from the playoff aspirations this team once had.
