Mets' Losing Streak: Players or Manager to Blame?

0:00On April 20th, the New York Mets are off to one of their worst starts ever. Sitting at seven wins and 15 losses, dead last in the national league, East for the 2026 season. They just dropped a tight 2-1 game to the Chicago Clubs on Sunday at City Field, pushing their losing streak to 11 straight. Fans and media are piling on manager Carlos Mendoza, with some demanding he gets fired after this brutal stretch of inconsistency. But star shortstop Francisco Lindor is pushing back hard, saying the skipper has the team prepped and pointed right. It's on the players to step up and execute. Especially since Lindor's own bat is ice cold at 205, with just one homer and one RBI through 22 games. The Mets get another shot Tuesday night against the Minnesota Twins at 7-10 pm Eastern time back at City Field, hoping to snap the skid and build. Some momentum before things spiral further.
