Mets' Slump Deepens Without Lindor

0:00On April 30, the Mets are off to a rough start this season with a 10-20 record in the National League East, sitting dead last. Francisco Lindor's calf strain landed him on the 10-day injured list, and is hitting the team hard-offence dropped to 28th in the league. Without him, earlier this week against the Nationals, things got ugly in a 2-14 loss. Juan Soto smacked a solo homer and got three hits. Boba Shet added a run, but nobody else showed up. Ronnie Mauricio went 0-4, filling in at shortstop, proving one guy can't carry the load. Soto didn't hold back, calling Lindor a true superstar, who impacts every phase of the game. Fans had buzzed about a rift after Soto's comments last year, shading Lindor's capency talk, but now he's praying for a quick recovery and saying, THE. Clubhouse misses that leadership big time. Meanwhile, the Mets offense ranks near the bottom across the board. 30th in runs, on base percentage, slugging you name it.

1:02Soto's batting 327 as the designated hitter, since his forearms not ready for the outfield, and pitchers like David Peterson and Sean. Manaya got shale for 13 runs combined. Manager Carlos Mendoza says they got to fix Islam fast, but the problems run deeper than one injury. With Lindor hopefully back soon, the Mets better rally or this season's going to stay grim.
