Objectively, there hasn’t been that much to complain about with the Mets thus far in 2025, as the team has been in first place for the majority of the season and gotten above-average pitching and offense. But if there’s one thing we can point to as a weakness for this squad, it’s been their ability to get the clutch hit with runners in scoring position. That issue plagued the team tonight—with one notable and surprising exception—in their second game against the Chicago Cubs, as the bats consistently failed to capitalize on opportunities and suffered a 6-5 loss to even out the series as a result.
