NEW YORK – For almost two weeks, the New York Mets offensive, in addition to an explosion, was a problem. The alarming trend continued on Monday evening against the Braves of Atlanta.
During a stifling night at Citi Field, with the temperature at first sight at 87 degrees, the bats of the food remained freezing in a loss of 3-2. New York lost nine of the 10 games and scored 19 points in total in these nine defeats. The exception was an 11 -point effort powered by seven circuits in the dishes against the phillies of Philadelphia on Saturday.
This was an advance of 5½ games in the National East League suddenly turned into a 1½ match deficit in the Phillies during the short period.
The Mets Manager, Carlos Mendoza, awarded the approximate Patch of the offensive to two numbers: the first deficits produced bad bats, and the lower half of the range was not good enough.
“We are counting so on our best guys,” said Mendoza. “And we have a lot of guys at the bottom of the range that runs through at the moment. And when this happens, once you have exceeded the fourth or the fifth striker, we have trouble creating opportunities, to create chances for us, and it is difficult to score like that. We talked, when we played well, at what depth our programming was. Now we had a few guys.”
The figures support Mendoza’s assertion. Since June 11, the start of a section in which the dishes have been held at five or less in 12 of the 13 games, the 5 to 9 New York strikers have combined the lowest stick in the upper stick (0.183) and the second lower (0.534). Only the five lower strikers of the brave accumulated a lower ops during stretching.
On Monday, the three best New York strikers – Francisco Lindor, Brandon Nimmo and Juan Soto – combined for four of the team’s six strokes and his only walk. Brett Baty, striker n ° 9, won the other two strokes – in simple in the third and fifth heats. The 4 to 8 drums of the dishes went a 0 for 18 combined with five stick withdrawals.
“We have to continue supporting guys,” said Mendoza. “Continue to work. But these are results, right? So, yes, we continue to have all the confidence in these guys, but we must be better.”
Soto was not a problem. After a relatively slow start to the season, which included questions about his incessant and relentless body language analysis, the Star Right Field Player was one of the best baseball strikers in June with an average of the stick of .324, 1.188 ops and 8 circuits in 21 games. On Monday, after the dishes were delayed from 3-0 in three rounds, he made a home run of two points during the sixth against the Braves Starter, Spencer Schwellenbach, who recorded seven rounds against the food for the second time in a week, for the only point to score from New York.
But Soto did not manage to pass with runners in the corners and two withdrawals in the eighth round, removing a 3-2 cursor from the left-hander Dylan Lee under the striking area on the eighth stick of the stick. Lee then withdrew the team in order in the ninth round for the last three withdrawals of the match, sending the dishes to another defeat.
“He made a big ground,” said Soto, who has 17 circuits with a .878 OPS this season. “He made very good locations in the corners, and I just couldn’t pass the last one. He launched a very good one. I just had fun.”
