New York Mets fans react to owner Steve Cohen citing pitching as many issue struggling team is facing: "He better get his cheque book out"

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen has been searching for answers to the team's slump like all of us, and he thinks he's found it. The Mets' pitching staff has been underwhelming at best thus far into the season, and Cohen believes that is a huge issue for the team. Considering this was supposed to be a position of strength for the Mets coming into the season, this is a tough stance to accept.With Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander, the Mets could have had one of the best 1-2 punches in baseball. Winning a series with those two making starts would have felt impossible before the season started. Instead, both have looked human. They are a good group, but not the MLB's elite like they were supposed to be. Thankfully, there is still time to find their rhythm.MLB insider Jon Heyman shared the comments from Steve Cohen on Twitter.Jon Heyman@JonHeymanSteve Cohen in first interview since shocking slump cites pitching as the issue but shows Amazin’ restraint twitter.com/nypostsports/s…New York Post Sports@nypostsportsSteve Cohen keeps coming back to starting pitching as Mets’ big problem: ‘So spotty’ trib.al/5hab2BN443Steve Cohen keeps coming back to starting pitching as Mets’ big problem: ‘So spotty’ trib.al/5hab2BN https://t.co/NBd2yvegbdSteve Cohen in first interview since shocking slump cites pitching as the issue but shows Amazin’ restraint twitter.com/nypostsports/s…For the most part, New York Mets fans are so upset that these comments do very little to comfort them. They were hyped up as the best team in baseball coming into the season, and now they can't even get to a winning record. There are still a lot of games left, but they are legitimately at risk of missing the playoffs. This would be a disastrous result for a season that could have seen them emerge as champions.Richie Parsons@2020fpHe better get his cheque book out @DavidPSamson twitter.com/jonheyman/stat…Jon Heyman@JonHeymanSteve Cohen in first interview since shocking slump cites pitching as the issue but shows Amazin’ restraint twitter.com/nypostsports/s…463Steve Cohen in first interview since shocking slump cites pitching as the issue but shows Amazin’ restraint twitter.com/nypostsports/s…He better get his cheque book out @DavidPSamson twitter.com/jonheyman/stat…Mac Euro@macEuroz@JonHeyman I thought the Mets have the best pitching rotation in baseball?@JonHeyman I thought the Mets have the best pitching rotation in baseball?Kyle Simpson@KyleSimpson20_@JonHeyman Is the slump that shocking tho@JonHeyman Is the slump that shocking thoWhile Scherzer and Verlander have not been their usual Cy Young award winning-selves, they have still been solid. That is, in part, what makes Steve Cohen's comments ring hollow. The teams' offense is clearly a big issue as well and no one group can be blamed for their failings thus far.Dugmet@dugmet@JonHeyman Poor starting pitching also kills the bullpen.

You can’t analyze people like you are analyzing the S&amp;P500. This season may well be a classic “dead cat bounce”With the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies ahead of them in the division, the New York Mets are running out of time to figure this out. They need pitching help across the board, from starters stepping up to adding talent to the bullpen. The catastrophic injury to Edwin Diaz at the World Baseball Classic made them shorthanded before the season even began.Florida_MAGA@WokeCame2Die@JonHeyman when your pitching staff is literally the worst in MLB for $360,000,000 you know you got swindled!@JonHeyman when your pitching staff is literally the worst in MLB for $360,000,000 you know you got swindled!JOE FAULT FINDER@Jerry221898@JonHeyman Eppler stat machine broken.

So far, it seems like he is paying an exorbitant amount of money for a mediocre team.The payroll of the Mets is ludicrously high, but the number of wins is far from it.
