At the time of this writing, the Mets are an 8-4 ball club, one that came into the day in first place in the National League East. Their pitching has been (largely) out of this world, with a team wide 2.02 ERA that leads the league. It is a far cry from the 0-5 start that 2024 brought, and it is hard to be too negative about the team writ large right now.
Despite the overall good vibes surrounding the Mets, there is a pretty large red flag that fans have been subjected too — the offense, namely the bottom part of the lineup.
