Not much has gone right for the New York Mets this season. Injuries have hung over yet another season, the team and fans seem unsure about whether they can contend next year (ESNY’s Robby Sabo says they can’t), and the offense has struggled once again.
The Mets have been unable to do anything offensively. In addition to ranking 28 in runs scored, the team ranks dead last in batting average entering play on Aug. 5. The team has been looking for anything to get their offense going.
Saturday night, rookie Jeff McNeil gave them a sliver of hope for the future, as he managed to put up a 4-for-4 night.
