The Mets were pathetic in Detroit.
Swept by the Tigers, who were last in MLB in runs. They were 10-17 coming in.
Detroit had a roster that even true baseball fans could not name most of.
The Mets are a better team than the one we saw in an embarrassing sweep.
If they aren’t better than that, this will be a waste of a season in a window that isn’t incredibly long with two old aces.
Max Scherzer needs to be better or the Mets will be screwed.
It’s just 32 games into a 162-game season. There is plenty of time to turn it around.
But Buck Showalter has to be better.
The lineup has to hit.
The pitching staff has to get better.
Across the board, the Mets need to improve, because this is the roster they got right now.
To react to the brutal showing in Detroit, we bring you a new episode of the “Amazin’ But True” podcast with Nelson Figueroa and me.
