When a club is in the midst of a losing streak it’s very easy to find fault with what things have happened to allow a big L at the end of the game results for now 6 consecutive games. Heading into Philadelphia for a match of the now tied for first place ballclubs suggests that it is either time for the Mets to turn the page and resume being the dominating club they’ve been for all but the last week of the 2025 season. If you put a group of obviously worried and increasingly hostile Mets fans in a room to debate the cause of the current demise you would find them squaring off like the Hatfields and the McCoys. On the one side you will hear screams about the horrific pitching efforts that have come both from the rotation and the bullpen.
