The New York Mets are enduring a difficult period, having lost 11 consecutive games, a streak not seen since 2004. This prolonged slide has brought significant criticism and pressure to the team, which began the season with high expectations and the highest opening-day payroll in Major League Baseball at $352.2 million.
During their losing streak, the Mets have been outscored 62-19, struggling particularly with runners in scoring position. Despite these challenges, players like Francisco Lindor and David Peterson are calling for internal resolve and a collective effort to break the losing streak. Manager Carlos Mendoza has received support from key players, who assert that execution, not leadership, is the primary issue.
