"The Mets' early-season skid is reaching historical levels of ineptitude, and it seems as though there is no legitimate escape plan. Sunday's walk-off loss to the Chicago Cubs extended New York's losing streak to 11 games, the first time that has happened since 2004."
"Coming off a significant second-half collapse that saw them devolve from the best team in baseball to one that missed the postseason, logic dictates that a shakeup has to be made sooner rather than later."
"His latest puzzling decision came in the bottom of the 10th on Sunday when he opted to pitch to Nico Hoerner, Chicago's best hitter, with one out and the winning run on third. Hoerner predictably put the ball in play—a game-winning sacrifice fly."
"The manager cannot control the offseason moves made by the president of baseball operations, David Stearns, cutting ties with Brandon Nimmo, Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil, and Edwin Diaz."
The Mets are enduring an 11-game losing streak, the worst start since 1983. They have been swept in three consecutive series for the first time since 2002. Manager Carlos Mendoza faces scrutiny for his decisions, particularly in a recent game against the Cubs. However, he is not solely to blame, as offseason moves have weakened the team. Key players like Francisco Lindor and others are underperforming, contributing to the team's struggles. The situation calls for urgent changes to reverse the downward trend.
