Don’t look now, but the Mets we expected to see on the field every night in 2023 might be arriving.
New York’s 10-game West Coast road trip has started with four straight wins — three against the Oakland Athletics and one against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Overall, they’ve won five straight and now own an 11-6 record.
Something that’s been noticeable is the offense starting to wake up. Their series-opening win in Oakland included 17 (!) runs and 17 (!!) walks. While hanging eight runs on the Dodgers Monday night, manager Buck Showalter’s club collected 14 hits.
