rahimi harrison grody oh sorry but watch your profanity you said pop of the mind no no you know what that's that you gotta let it flow our poor producer ray spilled his coffee so thanks for christening our studio over here no no it's it's okay it's okay middays 10 to 2 on 104.3 the score crowd back to their feet hoping it ends right here
And it does. A strikeout ends the ball game. And the Dodgers win this, complete the sweep, and beat the Mets tonight 8-2.
That is eight straight losses now for the New York Mets, as called on ESPN. They had to go through the Dodgers.
What led to the Mets' eight-game losing streak?
That is no way, no team to try to end a losing streak against as the Mets continue to struggle. That is who the Cubs play today. They open up a three-game series against the Mets out at Wrigley Field, 12-45. We'll be the pregame right here on 104.3 The Score. This is Rahimi Harris and Grody on 104.3 The Score. And let's keep the Cubs going. And Mets talk hot right now, as we are happy to have on Rahimi Harris and Grody. Abby Mastrocco, she is the Mets beat writer for the New York Daily News. You should follow her right now on X at Abby Mastrocco, M-A-S-T-R-A-C-C-O. Abby, good morning. How are you?
I am doing great. I always say that New York might be the greatest city in the world, but Chicago is better when it's warm. And it's a great day for baseball right now. So I'm doing maybe better than the Mets. We'll find out.
I agree with that statement just because I know how much a hot New York smells like trash. So I understand that. Speaking of trash, 12 runs over eight games? The Mets? What's going on with an offense not powered by Juan Soto?
That's pretty harsh, Marshall.
Is it accurate? I mean, 12 runs over eight games, Mark. 12 runs over eight games.
You're right. You're right.
I mean, it's pretty bad. Yeah, the production has been nonexistent. And, you know, really, since the season started, this offense has been kind of feast or famine. It's been all or nothing. I don't think they're making good swing decisions right now. And I think as the offensive issues have, you know, sort of exacerbated each day, the swing decisions tend to get a little bit worse. They're chasing more and more pitches out of the zone. And I think it's just sort of like permeated throughout the entire offense. Yes, Juan Soto is missing, but this lineup is built to not rely on just one hitter. I think it's tough when you don't have the momentum from somebody like him who gets on base a lot. But still, this lineup should be producing more than three runs in three games.
You know, we were just talking about it, Abby, that we on this show, Rahimi Harrison-Grody, we admit, for the most part, that we ride the 162-game roller coaster. We were all mad the Cubs weren't scoring runs two weeks ago, and now there's been a gluttony of runs, and we're all like, are the Cubs ready to blast off? My question to you is, on this Mets team with great expectations, how have the fans been taking the 7-12 starts for the New York Mets?
not well not well so the thing about New York fans is that Yankee fans have expectations so they get exceptionally angry when the Yankees aren't performing because there is that constant uh just expectation of them being the best every year but with Mets fans they're waiting to be disappointed so then when something like this happens it's almost like it validates their disappointment and it's like oh I guess the season's over already might as well just you know tune out and And look forward to next year. They're not taking this exceptionally well. You know, they do want Carlos Mendoza fired. I don't see that happening yet. I do think there's going to be a conversation if things continue like this.
But David Sands is not a guy who is very reactionary. So I don't see Carlos Mendoza being fired yet. But the fans, I don't think that's going to appease the fans. That's for sure. This is a group of fans that's looking to panic. And they've officially started panicking.
If it wasn't for that highest payroll in baseball thing, I would say that the New York Mets are the White Sox of New York.
