Cool

a rough stretch

Hard to feel good about the data. A 2-5 week. That's the biggest factor right now. Making it worse, 3.0 R/G this week. Hard to climb with that kind of production.

Mets News

The New York Mets stumbled into July with yet another disappointing performance, losing 5-3 to the Atlanta Braves and dropping their record to 36-52. A.J. Ewing's debut at the leadoff spot didn’t provide the spark needed, as the Mets continue to flounder with a lackluster offense averaging just 3.0 runs per game over the last week. Even more concerning is the looming trade deadline, where the team faces tough decisions with ownership signaling a potential fire sale as they sit 15 games under .500. The Mets have seen their season spiral into a series of missed opportunities, highlighted by a ninth-inning rally that ultimately fell short. With their playoff hopes dimming, fans are left wondering what the next chapter holds for this franchise.

Senga has swung from starter to reliever ... So what's the bigger plan?

ATLANTA -- This was not exactly what the Mets had in mind for Kodai Senga heading into the season. When the Truist Park bullpen door swung open in the sixth inning Friday and Senga came jogging through, it represented the sum of nearly three years of false starts and frustrations
