It’s possible that last season’s success was nothing more than a mirage for the Mets.
After what was a nightmare series against the Atlanta Braves, the Mets hoped to turn their fortunes in Pittsburgh in a weekend series with the Pirates.
Unfortunately, they were only able to leave the Steel City with one win and left looking like a team that might just be mediocre. Nelson Figueroa and special co-host guest Marc Malusis talk about why this Mets team could possibly be just a .500 club, and how perhaps last season’s success was nothing more than a mirage.
While it’s not getting late early just yet, they’ll have a chance to springboard their season against the Yankees with a big Subway Series matchup this week at Citi Field.Though the Mets escaped Pittsburgh with one win, the Pirates exposed a few of the Mets’ biggest flaws, including an offense that might sink without Pete Alonso at the wheel.As the bullpen continues to falter, the Mets made some changes by designating Tommy Hunter and Stephen Nogosek for assignment.
