The Mets are too good to be this bad.
Right now, they’re unwatchable.
When they pitch well, they can’t hit.
When they hit, they give up too many runs.
They are making baserunning blunders, defensive mishaps, failing to drive runners in and struggling to end up in the win column.
A 4-9 record against the horrible teams they just played is unacceptable.
The road doesn’t get any easier with the MLB-best Rays coming to Queens for three games this week.
The Mets need a spark.
Call up Mark Vientos or Ronny Mauricio and put them in the lineup …now.
To talk about the Mets’ rough stretch, the lineup needing some help, Justin Verlander’s long-awaited Citi Field Mets debut and look ahead to a tough homestand, we bring you a new episode of the “Amazin’ But True” podcast with Nelson Figueroa and me.
