The Mets’ best month in 2023 was July, when the team went 14-9. In that month they at last got the pitching rotation they hoped to have all year, as Jose Quintana finally was activated from the IL, while Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander were hitting their stride. But June had been so horrendous and May wasn’t very good, either. Add it all up and the owner decided for the team to be sellers.
The team had a horrible start to August, getting swept in back-to-back series. The first sweep was a disaster, as they fell to the lowly Royals. The second one made more sense, as it was to an Orioles team that was playing very well. In all, the Mets went 2-10 in the first 12 games of August. But then this team, one that had underachieved most of the year and then was gutted once it was healthy and finally showing some life, did a strange thing.
