The Mets could not hit the 3rd starter on the high school team down the street from my house. I am a life long Mets fan but pulling for this team is an exercise in self torture.
The BEST hitter on the team is hitting .264 and half the lineup is batting below .250. Over the past 7 games the Mets have a total of 31 hits and 9 runs.....that's 4 hits and 1 run per game.
Their hot start was mostly about pitching and the staff is in the top 15% of the league for sure, but how does an organization let this happen at the plate. Don't come back defending the Mets because of injuries....all teams have injuries.
The big additions, Granderson and Cuddyer are old men and it's showing. How in the world is Cuddyer making 12.5 million? What a joke that 13-3 start was.
End of rant.
