In the 2025 Subway Series, the Mets competed in a promising yet ultimately disappointing matchup against the Yankees. The finale started with a 2-2 tie but showcased poor performances from several players. David Peterson faced challenging circumstances due to team errors and a lack of support, while Max Fried was outperformed despite the Mets managing to score. Criticism also fell on Juan Soto for his lackadaisical effort, and umpire Adam Hamari's inconsistent strike zone added to the game’s frustrations. Overall, the series highlighted missed opportunities and disappointing play on both sides.
"Peterson endured this sequence: error by Mark Vientos, flyout, a little slice by Aaron Judge that went for a ground-rule double...After facing four batters Peterson had done nothing wrong but was down 2-0."
"The Mets put together good ABs against Max Fried, who...always struck me as vaguely dissolute looking, with the furtive, weaselly mien of a back-alley hood known for hot-wiring beater cars."
