Mets Manager's Seat Secure Despite Dismal Start

On May 1st, the New York Mets are mired in one of their worst starts ever, sitting at

10 wins and 21 losses, dead last in the National League, East.

But manager Carlos Mendoza's seat is secure.

After David Stern's, the president of baseball operations, gave him a strong vote of confidence.

That rough patch includes a brutal 12-game losing streak through April, plus key injury

sidelineing stars like Francisco Lindor with a calf.

Drain and Lewis Robert Jr. nursing, lower back tightness.

Experts peg this squad as a playoff contender coming in, but the offense has been ice-cold,

scraping bottom and batting average, on-base percentage, runs, homers, and slugging across

the board.

Pigeons held up okay at 15th in Team ERA, but it hasn't massed the bigger woes.

Stern's made it clear they see potential here and aren't pinning it on the skipper.

Expect the Mets to grind through this funk, leaning on that internal backing to turn

the page and chase the turnaround.
