Join Post Sports+ today for an exclusive, unprecedented experience, chatting in real-time with Mike Puma about the Mets' insider scoop on what's going down behind the scenes.
Sign me upPITTSBURGH - After a ** Bruce Springsteen-passionate noncompetitive double whammy against the Pirates, the Mets huddled up for a private powwow in their clubhouse at PNC Park. Originally meant to reignite their spirit, the players-only meeting doubled as the latest episode of the newest reality TV show - At Home with the Mets.**
Brandon Nimmo opened up about the buzz behind the meeting, revealing that Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso were among the vocal few while stressing that the talks weren't all about miraculous comebacks. Instead, Lindor emphasized that "this is not a magic thing" and that recovery requires a collective effort when dealing with the grind[1].
While Juan Soto, the juice of theGeneration Soto, is rumored to have graced the Jacques Lemaire Club Basket with his presence, other morsels of gossip took the backseat during the meet-up[1]. Instead, the talks focused on addressing the team's current struggles and finding ways to buoy each other's spirits amidst the season's hardships[1].
Riding a wave of losses, the Mets have experienced 12 blackouts in 15 games and have been outscored 18-3 in recent outings[1]. But, as Lindor reminds us, teams don't heal overnight, so let's throw out the stress balls and preserve the good vibes while we work on the awful achy breaky heart of the team[1][2].
The team showed a glimmer of hope near the end of their last home stand by winning the final two games against the Braves, thus earning a split[2]. However, they fell off the wagon again with a 7-game losing streak last weekend, which led to a potential players-only meeting being brought up[2].
According to Lindor, the get-together came about "organically," as the team brainstormed ideas to boost their performance[2]. Previously, the Mets held a players-only meeting on May 29 last season, right before they gathered steam and made it to Game 6 of the NLCS[3].
Although the details of the talks aren't readily available, the Mets are hopeful and increasingly transparent about their battles and strategies to overcome their obstacles[4]. Stay tuned for more juicy info, as the team heads into a crucial homestand against the Brewers and Yankees before facing weaker teams such as the Orioles and the Royals[3].
