Bichette's Slump: Mets Fans Boo, Blue Jays Smirk

0:00Boba Schett's jumping from the Toronto Blue Jays to the New York Mets this off-season had everyone buzzing, but his start in Queens has been straight. Rough, the 28-year-old infielder signed on as a big free agent prize to boost the Mets World Series push, yet just three games in, he's hitting a, measly 111 with only one hit in 14 at bats and eight strikeouts. That slump hit a peak Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, where Bechette went 0-5 in a tight 4-3 loss. Mets fans didn't hold back, booing him loud after he struck out to end the 7th inning. The backlash stung quick from the New York crowd, known for high expectations, but Bechette owned it, post-game, saying his ad bats were awful and even. The Blues came late, still, Blue Jays fans might be smirking, with Toronto off to a perfect 3-0 start. It's early days though, Bechette crushed it last season as one of baseball's top hitters, so expect him to heat up soon and silence the doubters. Mets brass knows one coal streak won't derail this lineup. Stay informed with Toronto news today,
