NY Mets fans might have some doubts because the team has only 1 playoff win in 3 years

Looking at the Mets from a results-driven perspective, it has been agony. They’re staring down the barrel of winning only one playoff game in three years of the Cohen era. This isn’t good enough. A team trying to compete needs to show up to the dance much more and actually hit the floor.

It’s not as if the Mets have been all that close in the year(s) they’ve been absent from the postseason. The 2021 Mets failed to reach the .500 mark. This current squad looks likely to do the same.

Imagine if the 2022 Mets weren’t one of the best teams in franchise history. We’d be in year three of a disappointing stretch. Thankfully, the 2022 team remains the cream filling.

Winning baseball is what fans want. The team isn’t giving it to us. Very little falls on Cohen unless you believe Eppler has butchered the ball club. In which case, you have every right to have some doubts about Cohen’s ability to hire the right people below him.
