Brett Baty wore those feelings in the postgame interview. Manager Carlos Mendoza reiterated that his club has to execute better. The rest of the clubhouse was silent as they packed up to leave.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>This was not the way this Mets season was supposed to begin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>There are a plethora of reasons New York is in the midst of a nine-game losing streak following a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/gameday\/mets-vs-cubs\/2026\/04\/17\/824693\/final\/box\" target=\"_blank\">12-4 loss to the Cubs<\/a> on Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field &#8212; with Juan Soto\u2019s injury and a myriad of offensive slumps at the top of that list. Kodai Senga\u2019s second straight start of six earned runs or more allowed didn\u2019t help, either.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>The result? The Mets\u2019 longest skid since losing 11 straight from Aug. 28-Sept. 8, 2004.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>It\u2019s a position the club with one of the highest payrolls in baseball history didn\u2019t expect to be in, let alone in mid-April. The pressure is mounting despite the Mets (7-13) being just 20 games into a 162-game marathon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>The most pressing issue is the offense, which entered Friday with a .175\/.213\/.257 slash line during the losing streak, before breaking out for 14 hits in the opener with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/mets\/news\/carson-benge-leading-off-as-mets-shake-up-starting-lineup\" target=\"_blank\">new-look top of the order<\/a>. However, despite a three-run second inning that matched the run total the club had scored in the previous 39 innings, the Mets managed just a single run the rest of the way while giving up a season-high 12 runs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>\u201cWe haven\u2019t hit. And when you don\u2019t hit, you can look stagnant,\u201d president of baseball operations David Stearns said. \u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re stagnant. I think we\u2019re playing hard. I think our guys are preparing. But I also understand, even from my seat, when you don\u2019t hit, when there\u2019s not a lot of action on the bases, when you can\u2019t get the double with runners on base, it can feel stagnant. And I recognize that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>Defensively, Baty misplayed two balls in the fourth inning, one of which was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/mets\/video\/huascar-brazoban-in-play-run-s-to-ian-happ-erl9d9\" target=\"_blank\">an error that allowed a run to score<\/a>. In the seventh, first baseman Mark Vientos missed a swipe tag after getting pulled off the bag on an errant throw from Marcus Semien, but despite Carson Kelly missing first base running up the line, Vientos never turned around and Kelly scrambled eight or so feet back to touch first base without a play.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re going through stretches like this, you see that,\u201d Mendoza said of things not going right. \u201cIt\u2019s the offense at times, then you get good starting pitching and you don\u2019t score a run. Then today I thought the bats were a lot better. \u2026 We\u2019ve got to be able to put a consistent game here where we\u2019re clicking at our best. Starts, playing defense, offensively &#8212; that\u2019s got to start.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>It\u2019s still early, sure, but that doesn\u2019t make Friday\u2019s performance or the eight before it any less concerning. The club is full of veteran leaders who have been through similar stretches, and there\u2019s no reason to believe Francisco Lindor (.610 OPS), Bo Bichette (.565), Jorge Polanco (.532) and Semien (.565) will continue to struggle at the plate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>But it was enough for Stearns to hold a rare pregame press conference on the road trip to discuss the club\u2019s current stretch, repeating his belief that the team he helped transform will turn it around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>\u201cNo one likes to lose. Losing is not fun. I also don\u2019t get the sense that anyone\u2019s head is spinning here,\u201d Stearns said. \u201cI think guys are coming to the ballpark, getting their work in and expecting to win.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>\u201cThe majority of that roster has gone through ups and downs over the course of the season, and has withstood tremendous pressure at various points in their careers. So I think players are frustrated.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>That much was evident Friday, but so was the simple fact that if the start-studded roster starts playing to its potential, there is more than enough time to turn this around. That\u2019s why Stearns believes an April losing streak won\u2019t define this team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got a group that cares tremendously, is working hard and also, in many cases, has the experience to understand where we are on the calendar,\u201d Stearns said. \u201cAnd that if we keep doing the right thing on a daily basis, we will get to where we want to go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re facing adversity right now, certainly at an earlier stage than any of us expected or wanted, but this has an opportunity to be part of our story, help us find our identity, come through this and understand we have the ability to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/news\/mets-lose-to-cubs-for-ninth-straight-defeat\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHICAGO &#8212; Frustration is growing.
