3 Mets conclusions after splitting 4 games against the Padres

2) The Mets won’t dwell on a miserable performance

Katy Perry didn’t know it but she sang about the 2024 Mets way back in 2008. They’re hot then they’re cold. They’re in the playoffs then they’re out. Our emotions are up then they’re down.

Is it just the Mets or is it baseball this season? All of the best teams have faced their struggles. For the Mets, getting over the hump has been the difficult part.

Nevertheless, the Mets bounced back nicely after Joe “The Ear” Musgrove embarrassed them on Friday. Mustering only two hits on the night, they came back proudly on Saturday with Lindor leading the charge. It wasn’t the same sort of hit parade as it was on Thursday.

Bouncing back strong and with energy is a good sign. Lindor has been the epicenter of the good vibes even if his attempt to pump up Huascar Brazoban in the final inning of Thursday’s win was a bit awkward. It’s like going out for ice cream after getting a D+ in math.

This year’s Mets team doesn’t seem to sulk. The positive vibes, as corny as they can be at times, is what works well for them. Thankfully, Lindor and Brandon Nimmo are the two leaders and they’d have nothing but a smile and compliments for a pair of dirty underwear.
