The New York Mets keep saying they're about to turn it around, trusting their players to step up like they have before. But loss is pile of night after night, and now they're hitting the road for games in Anaheim, Denver, and Phoenix, with manager Carlos Mendoza still in, charge.

Fired skippers left teams with a 414 winning percentage, and replacements manage just 467 afterward, often. Falling short of expectations by about 1 and a half games. Fans crave that magic turnaround, and there are outliers like the Phillies in 2022, who ditched Joe Gerardi for Rob Thompson and went. 65 and 46 to the World Series.

New York sports fans are used to quick firings, from George Steinbrenner's 5 rounds with Billy Martin, to the Mets canning Willie Randolph Wright, after a win in Anaheim back in June 2008.

Data says a new voice likely gets similar results, so the Mets need execution from the squad to climb out of the hole.
