Mets Off to Worst Start in MLB 2024 Season

First-year manager Carlos Mendoza cites 'trying to do too much' as the main reason for the team's offensive struggles.

The New York Mets have lost their first four games of the 2024 season, scoring only eight runs, the lowest in MLB so far.
Manager Carlos Mendoza was suspended for one game after an incident involving Mets reliever Yohan Ramírez and Brewers infielder Rhys Hoskins.
Mendoza believes the team's offensive issues stem from players 'trying to do too much' at the plate, leading to weak contact and early outs.
Team leaders and players, including Francisco Lindor, acknowledge the need for better execution and insist improvements will come.
PECOTA projections have been adjusted from 83.4 to 79.7 wins for the Mets following their poor start to the season.
