NY Mets scapegoats: 1 person to fire, 1 to scold, and 1 who gets a free pass

The Mets just wrapped a six-game homestand with all the warmth of a soggy boot. One win, five losses, and enough stranded runners to populate an expansion team if Manfred so chooses. The lineup was a no-show, and a few starters couldn’t put it together. This wasn’t just a bad stretch; it was a faceplant into the infield dirt. But not everyone’s equally guilty in this orange-and-blue crime scene. Some deserve the pink slip. Others just need a talking-to and a mirror. And one poor soul deserves nothing but sympathy for being trapped inside the mess. Let’s play favorites, point fingers, and hand out the appropriate judgment.
