Mets' Mental Lapses Cost Them in Loss

0:00It's April 2nd. This is New York Mets News today, driven by AI your team, nonstop. The New York Mets had a rough night against the St. Louis Cardinals, dropping the game with sloppy defense and ice cold bets. Star Shore's stop Francisco Lindor led the miscues, forgetting the outcount in the first standing on defense, and then getting picked off for his base in the 6th, while standing way off the bag. Manager Carlos Mendoza called out those mental laps as hard, saying physical errors happened, but brain phase like that just don't fly. Lindor owned it too, admitting he should have been sharper and had no excuses for the forgetful plays. Fans are frustrated because the Mets overhauled the roster last year to cut down on these veteran level mistakes, yet here we are early in the season. With the same old issues popping up, the offense is struggling big time too, going hitless over 27 at bats in one stretch of the series and scoreless for 17 innings. Straight. Finish 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position yesterday, sitting at a week 162 average there

1:04overall. Mets sit at 3 and 3 now, and they got a shake to soft quick starting tonight against the Giants to avoid digging a deeper hole.
