Mets offense slumps during a five-game skid, with a 30% strikeout rate and a drought from the top names. Alvarez, Lindor, Alonso, Nimmo, Marte struggle to drive runs, while Soto provides occasional pop. The panel stresses the bullpen/rotation pressure and the need for timely hits from veterans as rookies in the rotation show promise but aren’t yet reliable. Plan discussions center on Game 1 starter sanity and potential piggybacks to salvage the stretch drive against Phillies.
