The Mets are up to their old tricks. After taking two out of three from the Marlins, the Mets had a chance to make a big statement. They had series with the Braves and Phillies. These are the teams they need to beat. These are the teams they need to send a message to. The message is, or should be, last year was a fluke; watch out for us this year.
It is great to see the Mets got fired up for these two series. It is great to see the Mets were ready to send a message. After the first game against the Braves was rained out, the Mets lost three in a row. They were swept by the Braves and they dropped the first one to the Phillies yesterday.
While the starting pitching has not always been sharp, I believe in every game they have played this year, when the starter was removed, the Mets were still in the game. The bullpen has been failing the team. This is a throwback to the end of last season.
It is not just the Bullpen, however. The hitting should be on fire. They should be telling everyone in the National League to watch out for them. They should be scoring runs early and often. They should be hitting the long ball as well as manufacturing runs. The Mets have that kind of team. They just are not producing.
I know it is early and there is time to turn things around. Still, they were supposed to come charging out of the gate; they were supposed to get off to a good start; they were supposed to look like a team that was hungry, was driven, was capable of winning. Right now, they just look pretty pitiful. It is frustrating.
Message to the Met players, manager, and coaches: WAKE UP!!!!!
Let’s Go Mets!
