Mets score just three runs in over 27 innings of baseball
OPINION: After losing three in a row to the Colorado Rockies, the team's start is nothing shy of a disaster.

The 2026 New York Mets have been nothing shy of a disaster, twenty-eight games through the season. This past weekend, we saw them lose three in a row to the Colorado Rockies in a disturbing fashion, with just three runs scored over 27 innings of baseball.
The bats aren’t hitting, and some pitchers are struggling mightily. Kodai Senga has allowed 16 earned runs over his last 8 1/3 innings pitched. He was once looked at as our “Ace” and now may be moved into the bullpen, just like we saw with Starting Pitcher David Peterson earlier this season.
It is beginning to get to the point where the players can no longer be blamed, and we have to turn our focus to the front office and managerial staff. Manager Carlos Mendoza is not the issue at this point in time; the problem is poor roster construction, and that’s the fault of the President of Baseball Operations, David Sterns. I can one hundred percent see the Mets making a move in the coming days, which will most likely be the firing of Mendoza or trading some recently acquired pieces, such as Starting Pitcher Freddy Peralta.
The good news for Mets fans is that it is still extremely early in the season, but the overwhelming feeling right now is that the twelve-game losing streak, paired with poor clubhouse demeanor, feels like an impossible mountain to climb. I didn’t even mention the calf injury to superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor.
Changes need to be made if the team that had the third-best odds to win the World Series even wants to make a push at the wild-card series.
