Frigid NY Mets offense boils in win headlined by Pete Alonso disrespect

The New York Mets' offense was supposed to be the team's strength in 2025. With guys like Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, the lineup had a chance to be one of the best in franchise history. But the offense has failed to live up to expectations through the first ten games of the season. Several hitters are off to a slow start and have been unable to get the big hit.

That was until today, when the Mets' offense exploded for ten runs to beat the Marlins despite the less-than-ideal weather conditions. Everyone in the lineup, except for Tyrone Taylor got a hit, and he was robbed of one in the bottom 6th due to a fantastic catch from Derek Hill. While everyone in the lineup produced, Pete Alonso leads the offensive attack like he has all season.

Pete Alonso leads the Mets offense in their breakout game

Alonso went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, a run, and four RBIs, continuing his hot start to the season. However, the moment of the game came in the bottom of the sixth. The Marlins intentionally walked Juan Soto to get to Alonso. He made them pay two pitches later when he lined a double into left field, clearing the bases and giving the Mets a commanding 9-5 lead. It proved to be one of the many mistakes made by Marlins rookie manager Clayton McCollugh and one that drove Gary Cohen insane.

While on paper, walking Soto to reach Alonso seems like the right move, it makes little sense given how he's started the season. In eleven games, the polar bear has hit .333/.447/.692 with three home runs and 15 RBIs. Alonso leads the team in every hitting category except triples, walks, and strikeouts.

This start should give fans a lot of hope about what the rest of the season holds for Alonso. While it's unlikely he will keep this pace during a full 162, he should not struggle like he did last year. There was a fear that Alonso was regressing into a home run or bust type hitter, which was not what he was projected to be when he entered the league in 2019. But the way he's been hitting to start the season should put some of those concerns to rest.

Although Alonso was the driving force in today's victory, the Mets got big performances from some of their other stars as well. Lindor went 1-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs, and hit a mammoth home run in the bottom of the first after the Marlins had jumped out to an early two-nothing lead. Soto also had two hits and a walk and came around to score twice.

The Mets also had some success driving in runners in scoring position, going 3-for-14. While it's still not where the Mets want it to be, it's a step in the right direction. This type of performance can take some of the pressure off the Mets' offense and allow them to start hitting in big spots. While the weather might have been cold and miserable, the offense kept the fans warm and happy.
