The month of May has looked absolutely dreadful for the Mets. With just six wins against thirteen losses, the Mets’ status as a team hovering around .500 went down the drain. They won an abbreviated two-game series with the Cardinals and a three-game set with the Cubs that started in April, but have otherwise lost every series they’ve played, including two interleague sweeps at the hands of the Rays and Guardians.
You don’t need to know the Mets’ record to see the exhaustion, desperation, and frustration in almost every inning they’ve played over the past few weeks.
