The New York Mets had a mixed start to their series against the Miami Marlins, winning the first game decisively but falling short in the second, which raised concerns among fans. The second game showcased a frustrating performance from the Mets' offense, especially against Marlins' pitchers who had previously struggled. Francisco Lindor's defensive errors, combined with the team’s lack of offensive consistency, left fans feeling uneasy about the Mets’ early season trajectory. Despite the loss, there were some bright spots, including solid relief pitching from Max Kranick. The looming question of starting pitcher Sean Manaea’s recovery from injury adds another layer of anxiety to the team's outlook as they prepare for their home opener.
