Mets: Too Much Mediocre and Bad Mixed With the Good

The Mets are honoring the 1969 team today. It is unfortunate I was not a fan until the mid-90s since I missed 1986 (they were good for a few years there, but some hard luck). Stat: "Since the start of last season, the Mets' record in... June: 14-38 (.269) All other months: 100-93 (.518)." A bit over .500 (last year, the swoon started in May) is not good enough on its own. Definitely not good enough with those June numbers. Yesterday's sixth loss was telling: DeGrom only went six/three runs. The bats only gave them two. And, Gsellman (after an ex-Met got out of a bases loaded jam) gave up three key runs in the eighth. Group effort.

ETA: The Mets are in Groundhog's Day hell -- game after game the pen blows it. This time Lugo blew a lead after some call-up went four innings, one run, after a rain delay. But, it isn't just the pen as noted. The pen is horrendous. Rather somehow someone blows it on any given day. Some of the newbies actually show something. Thing is the bats have to pick them up. Some teams win by out hitting their pitching. Mets hitting isn't doing this now.
