Mets owner Steven Cohen throws lineup under the bus in unhinged tweet

New York Mets owner Steven Cohen really let it rip over Twitter in frustration on Wednesday.

The New York Mets have really struggled of late, and it is getting to new owner Steven Cohen.

New York had been in the driver’s seat of the NL East all season long until the rival Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves caught fire. After the Mets dropped their road game to the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night 3-2, Cohen voiced his frustrations over Twitter on Wednesday morning in failing to understand how professional hitters can be so unproductive at the plate.

New York is 59-60 on the season and 4.5 games back of the red-hot Braves in the NL East race.

New York Mets owner Steven Cohen crushes his team’s unproductive lineup.

The game that blew Cohen’s gasket should not have been this one. San Francisco is an elite team out west. New York outhit the Giants 8-5 on Tuesday night. While the dropped the game by a single run, we have to firmly understand what this club’s strength was entering the season: Pitching. The offense was going to be a work-in-progress, but frankly, it should be better than this.

Given that the NL East is the weakest division in baseball, only the division winner is reaching the postseason. Atlanta is finally playing up to its lofty standard after a dreadful start. Despite having the longest active postseason drought in the Senior Circuit, Philadelphia is playing like a team that will be vying for a postseason berth into the final week of the season. The Mets are a total mess.

New York has lost seven of its last 10 games and the Mets are in a complete tailspin right now.
