"'You guys go to the fall party'"
The atmosphere of the New York Mets, who poured astronomical money into Juan Soto alone in the last stove league, is at its worst.
The team, which was once in the lead fight in the National League East, seems to be completely falling into the abyss. Now, securing a wild card in the National League is also in jeopardy. The San Francisco Giants, who were far away, piled up wins one after another and chased under the chin.
But the Mets are not getting away at all. It's as if he's pushing San Francisco on his back, saying, `You go with the fall dance.' The Mets have lost five consecutive games.
The Mets lost 3-11 in an away game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on the morning of the 11th (Korea time). The Mets pitching staff has completely collapsed. Starter Clay Holmes collapsed with six hits and four runs in four innings, followed by left-hander Gregory Soto, who allowed four hits and four runs in one ⅓. Line Stanic (1 hit and 1 run in 1 ⅔ inning) and Ryan Helsley (three hits and 2 runs in 1 inning) who appeared afterwards also failed to avoid losing points.
On the other hand, the Mets' lineup had nine hits, including one home run, but only scored three points. The '1 trillion won man' Soto was at least worth his name with three hits, one RBI and two runs from five times at bat, including one solo home run. The other players couldn't support themselves.
This has led the Mets to a five-game losing streak. It is the seventh loss (three wins) in the last 10 games. No one expected this situation to happen even when he led the East with seven consecutive wins at the end of July. The division championship seemed likely.
However, the Mets immediately lost four consecutive games after seven consecutive wins, and seemed to be losing consecutive games with a victory over the San Francisco Giants on August 3, then lost all their hard-earned wins again. The worst atmosphere continues in September. He only added three wins in 10 games he played in September.
In the end, Philadelphia was given the top spot on the planet early on. There is a whopping 10 games difference. It's impossible to reverse. Not only that. The wild card competition, which was considered a stable position, is also in jeopardy. Maintaining the third place in the wild card, the last line to advance to the postseason, is in jeopardy. San Francisco has been chasing by two games.
San Francisco has been ' going crazy' since the end of August. He has been on a terrifying rise since Aug. 24 against Milwaukee with six straight wins and five straight wins, with 13-4 losses in his last 17 games. In the 10 games he played in September, he won seven games (three losses) against the Mets.
In this atmosphere, it is possible to turn the tables during the remaining 18 games of the regular league. When San Francisco lost on the 11th, the Mets couldn't escape and lost. If you can't run away, you'll end up catching up. The current atmosphere is completely focused on 'Giant Corps'. Lee Jung-hoo's first postseason is gradually approaching reality.
