ATLANTA — The Mets haven’t turned a blind eye toward the club’s struggles this season.
Fans might be screaming into a Twitter void about Daniel Vogelbach being in the lineup over Mark Vientos one night after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, or complaining about Jeff McNeil hitting second instead of Francisco Lindor after the shortstop hit his 11th home run of the season Tuesday night, but there is a method to the madness.
The Mets have to try everything they can to get some of their struggling players going again to snap a four-game losing streak and play the type of baseball they believe they are capable of playing.
