Mets' April Woes: Owner Cohen Seeks Positives Amidst Slump
16 Apr
Summary
- The Mets are on a seven-game losing streak due to offensive struggles.
- Owner Steve Cohen highlighted positive signs like Lindor's home run.
- Cohen encouraged fans, expressing belief in a team turnaround soon.
The New York Mets are enduring a challenging April, having lost seven consecutive games primarily due to a struggling offense. This poor start has amplified concerns among the fanbase, recalling last season's collapse. Owner Steve Cohen has engaged with fans on social media, aiming to counter the prevailing negativity.
Cohen highlighted encouraging signs, including Francisco Lindor's productive two-hit performance and a home run, alongside positive at-bats from other players. He also pointed to Juan Soto's progressing recovery and pitcher Nolan McLean's strong outing against a formidable lineup as reasons for optimism.
These public comments from Cohen, who has generally avoided fueling the fire during team slumps, suggest continued support for manager Carlos Mendoza. The team's offensive woes, particularly with Soto sidelined, have been severe, averaging only two runs per game recently. With over 140 games remaining, the Mets have time to recover, though the effectiveness of Soto's return on the lineup's performance will be crucial.
