Every game feels like a new low for this Mets team right now.
Coming out of an off day, the Mets got embarrassed by the Cubs, 12-4, here at Wrigley Field.
That's nine losses in a row ... the longest losing streak for the Mets since 2004.
A dreadful pitching performance from Kodai Senga set the tone, overshadowing some life (14 hits) from New York's floundering lineup.
The Mets are now 7-13 to start the season.
Worst possible start for a Mets team that’s already pressing offensively. Kodai Senga gives up a 3 run homer for the second straight game and puts the Mets in an early 4-0 hole.
McLean was unreal, but so was Yamamoto. Against the bullpens, the Mets couldn’t scratch across a run in the 8th, the Dodgers could.
The Mets have now lost seven straight and face Shohei tomorrow.
The most unlikable thing about this Mets team is how poor their at-bats become in the 9th inning
Every time their back is against a wall, discipline goes completely out the window and we see them flailing all over the place.
Happened against AZ, against ATH, now tonight too
@MaxTGoodman Legitimately 4 consecutive automatic outs in the lineup with damn near automatic outs in the other 5 spots. Hopefully you don’t ask softball questions in the pressers like the losers who have been on the beat for years like Gelbs
Since Francisco Lindor's leadoff home run, Yoshinobu Yamamoto has retired 15 Mets in a row.
Nolan McLean has been matching Yamamoto with zeros after giving up a run of his own in the first, but the Mets need to do more on offense ... which is nothing new during this six-game losing streak.
