The New York Mets' disappointing start to the season continued with an 8-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, marking their eighth consecutive defeat. The team has struggled offensively, scoring only 12 runs over this losing streak and managing more than two runs just once. Manager Carlos Mendoza voiced his frustration, stating, "We’re not playing good baseball right now," and emphasized the need for players to improve their performance. Key player Bo Bichette, who has struggled with a .228 batting average, acknowledged the team's challenges, especially facing top pitchers like Shohei Ohtani. The Mets will have an off day to regroup before starting a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs. Mendoza noted the team's frustration, saying, "They’re pissed. Frustrated. Not happy about it," which he believes is a positive sign for their competitive spirit moving forward.
