The Mets are playing like they have their heads up their fucking asses. They coasted through spring training to make sure everybody stayed healthy, but they just flat out look unprepared and have no gameplan at all offensively besides just trying to hit the ball out of the park every AB. Which they have only done twice. Murphy has more HR so far this year than the entire Mets roster.
Syndergaard gives up 1 run over 7 goddamn innings and they still find a way to lose the game. 13 strikeouts. Granderson and Duda having the entire left side of the infield completely open and yet they never even try to hit it to opposite field or even bunt against the shift.
Like I've said, too early to make full-on judgments or worry about the standings (although the Nats could get a 7 game lead on the Mets pretty damn quick at the rate its going). But it's still frustrating to watch them look so clueless at the plate. The entire lineup is all-or-nothing hitters.
