a rough stretch

Everything is pointing the wrong way. 1-6 in their last 7. Not the week they wanted. Pair that with the bats at 2.6 R/G this week. That's not getting it done.

Mets News

The Mets are in a downward spiral that seems unending, suffering their 17th loss in the last 20 games after a gut-wrenching 5-4 defeat to the Nationals. Freddy Peralta's earlier sharp pitching turned into yet another disappointment as the bullpen coughed up a lead, exposing the team's glaring weaknesses. This latest catastrophe comes just a day after a humiliating 14-2 beating, showcasing a club in disarray with a dismal record of 10-20. Amidst the chaos, the Mets made a desperate move by claiming infielder Andy Ibáñez off waivers, a player whose lackluster .118 batting average this season raises more questions than it answers. With Tommy Pham opting for free agency, the Mets' roster continues to alter, but it’s clear that they need much more than a few changes to turn this ship around.
