last night's loss

A difficult stretch, and the score shows it. A 6-run loss last night is the biggest weight on the score. Compounding things, the -8 run differential tells a worse story than the record.

Mets News

Sean Manaea's struggles were front and center as the Mets were dismantled 8-1 by the Brewers, who boast the best record in baseball. Facing off against Cy Young frontrunner Jacob Misiorowski, Manaea surrendered two runs before the Mets even got a chance to swing the bat, a bleak omen for a team that has now dropped three of its last four contests with a run differential of -5 over the past week. The offense's inability to capitalize with runners in scoring position continues to haunt this struggling team, making it hard to find any silver lining. While young players like Carson Benge and Francisco Alvarez show potential, the Mets are still mired in mediocrity, holding a dismal 60-73 record. With key injuries piling up and the Brewers back for another matchup, it’s tough to see where this team goes from here.

Which Other Players Could Land On Waivers This Week?
In recent years, non-contending teams have used the waiver wire to shed some money at the end of August. The Angels opened the floodgates in 2023, dumping a handful of veterans to dip underneath the luxury line and get a slightly better draft pick when they lost Shohei Ohtani in free agency. While no other team […]

Mets Miz-ery: Manaea Struggles, Offense Stifled In Loss
