Few Centers of Attention
Briefly

The New York Mets experienced a disappointing 4-3 loss against the San Francisco Giants, marking their fourth consecutive defeat. Despite recent personnel changes and the acquisition of new relievers, including Gregory Soto and Ryan Helsley, the Mets have been unable to regain their momentum. This loss is part of a troubling trend, including two four-game losing streaks and a stretch of seven consecutive losses earlier in the season. The “same guys” that contributed to a previous winning streak are struggling, leaving the team’s position in the standings precarious.
The post-trade deadline New York Mets lost, 4-3, at Citi Field on Friday night to a San Francisco Giants team that looked familiar, and not just because they were who the Mets took on last weekend, the last time the Mets won a game.
Not that they occupy first place at the moment, not after the Phillies won while the Mets were losing their fourth in a row. This is the Mets' second four-game losing streak since they lost seven consecutive in the middle of June.
To regain the momentum that elevated them to/near the top of their division, the Mets got busy as the deadline approached. We've now seen two of the three relievers recently obtained in action.
Helsley is accompanied by a hellacious entrance music and light show, though once you've enjoyed your incumbent closer's entrance music and light show, all you really want to see are outs recorded without fanfare.
