Can't win many games when you don't hit the ball. That has been the main problem for the Mets through their past two games and it's no coincidence that they have dropped each game.
Two games and two different reasons for the lack of hitting. On Tuesday evening, the Mets ran out a Triple-A lineup and the results showed. No timely hitting and they were only able to scratch out two runs near the end of the game. Yesterday it was a case of facing a tough, tough pitcher who was on top of his game after the first inning.
The hits will come for the team and the Mets will be able to put up a good number of runs over the course of the season. For those with a short memory, New York did lead the NL East in runs scored last season.
The bit of disturbing information is the lack of hitting, not power, but overall hitting from Ike Davis and Lucas Duda. Both of these left handers are having a difficult time at the plate right now and with those outs, coupled with the absence of David Wright, the Mets lineup just cannot get anything going at all.
