Lukewarm

the season is just getting started

Small sample size at 6 games. It's a wash right now. The arms have been stingy at 3.3 RA/G. Pulling the other way, lost by 1 last night. Hard to shake that off immediately.

Mets News

The New York Mets experienced another frustrating loss, falling 2-1 to the St. Louis Cardinals in 11 innings, extending their offensive woes. Since their opening-day triumph, the bats have been largely silent, scoring no more than four runs in any game and failing to capitalize with runners in scoring position, going 0-for-11 in that department yesterday. Freddy Peralta delivered a solid start with seven strikeouts, but it was not enough as defensive miscues, notably from Francisco Lindor, compounded the team’s troubles. With a record now sitting at 3-3, it’s clear the Mets need to find their rhythm offensively and quickly shake off this series loss if they want to contend this season.
