The New York Mets are the definition of reeling right now, as they entered Sunday in MLB’s worst stretch with a 9-22 record over their last 31 games.
And once again, it was a late-inning meltdown that led to the team losing on Saturday afternoon.
The team’s broadcasters perfectly summed up how every Mets fan is feeling at the moment as they watched the San Francisco Giants win 7-2 in extra innings.
“It feels like the sky is falling,” Mets legend Keith Hernandez said over the PIX11 broadcast Saturday afternoon.
This came after the Mets’ longtime play-by-play announcer, Gary Cohen, called Mike Yastrzemski’s bases-loaded triple that blew the doors open on the game in the top of the 10th inning.
And the only reason the game went into extras is that Edwin Diaz blew another save for the Mets.
Diaz has blown four saves in his last eight appearances for New York.
The Mets are now losers of five in a row, which included another bad loss on Friday night against the Giants, who came from behind late to beat New York again.
New York is nine games under .500 entering Sunday (21-30), and sits second-to-last in the NL East.
New York is a talented team on paper, and though they weren’t expected to be too competitive this season after a lackluster 2023 campaign, this stretch has irked everyone following the Queens-based squad.
