It’s been almost a week since baseball came alive, and almost every team is done with their first series of the season. Out of those, many have already begun their second series. And that includes the New York team of the Queens, aka New York Mets. After winning a four-game series against the Miami Marlins, the Mets went to Milwaukee and suffered a terrible defeat of 10-0.
After spending almost half a billion dollars and acquiring some of the best players in the off-season, the Mets have given their fans the hope of a great season ahead. However, this horrible defeat, that too, pretty early in the season, has upset the fans and they are rethinking their allegiance to the team.
New York Mets fans are beyond devastated

Mets owner Steve Cohen went to great lengths in the off-season to make the team as strong as possible. But as it turned out, even half a billion dollars could not stop the Mets from suffering such a lousy defeat against the team that spent only $4.5 million in the offseason. Considering what the Mets spent, it is indeed pocket change for them. Even though wins and losses are a part of the game, a defeat like this wasn’t expected by the Mets fans.

Done with this organization. And I’ll let it be known that I have been through the ups and downs of this franchise for 780 years, but this is pathetic, and frankly disgusting. This is something I have NEVER seen before, and as a result I’m going to the Yankees. Goodbye.

As an honest Mets fan since 1960, I officially call it quits. This is the most embarrassing loss I have witnessed as a fan of this team. I broke my ultra hd 4k tv in front of my family. I will be taking my fandom and talents to the Bronx where they actually know what theyre doing

$500m payroll to have position players pitching please be serious
— Max Fried Enthusiast (@atlhoe12345) April 3, 2023
Pitching was awful and offense is incredibly boring to watch. Please get Baty up.

I pretend it did not happen

Would you agree?
Embarrassing. Our offense is trash. Eppler should have gotten at least two big bats. Now we're going to be a mediocre team this year and end up 3rd place.

Horrible game all around. Do better for Scherzer tomorrow
— Fire Frazier and Dorsey (@AM_Star5) April 3, 2023
This team is looking old and uninterested. Bring Baty up asap for some youthful energy. Vogelbach needs to go.
— Wil Uno (@Fueledbyair) April 3, 2023
The offense looks real bad

Today wasn't our best day, but we'll get'em tomorrow!!! LGM!

Every one has a bad day once in a while….this is it for the year #LGM

While there are many who are calling quits on the team after the game, there are also a few who still have hope for their team.

Who did the Mets acquire in the offseason?
The highlight of the Mets’ off-season would be their failed deal with Carlos Correa over medical issues. Aside from this, they signed Justin Verlander on a two-year contract for $86 million, Kodai Senga on a five-year contract for $75 million, Brandon Nimmo for $162 million, Edwin Diaz for $102 million, and many others.

To agree with a few fans, it is indeed early in the season to determine anything, but losing in a game without scoring anything wasn’t something any fan was looking forward to.
