Steve Cohen can’t comprehend ‘disheartening’ Mets loss in social media rant: ‘Mind boggling’

Steve Cohen wasn’t taking this one quietly.
After the Mets squandered a 6-2 lead to lose an 8-7 heartbreaker to the Giants on Friday night at Citi Field, the Amazin’s owner took to X to vent his own frustrations amid the team’s recent slide.
He did, however, feel for the fan base.
“What a stretch, mind boggling. I know how disheartening this is for our fans. Ty for caring so much,” Cohen wrote on X after the Mets’ latest defeat.
It’s now four straight games that the Mets have lost — and nine losses in the last 11 — as normally reliable reliever Reed Garrett fell apart in the eighth inning, with San Francisco catcher Patrick Bailey providing the real crusher with a grand slam.

The Mets are now eight games under .500, the worst they’ve been this season, one that began with the team losing five straight games in Queens.
The nadir — which seemingly began in earnest on May 10 — has seen the Mets’ bullpen falter numerous times, including two blown saves by Edwin Diaz during a series against the Phillies last week.
But his lowest point came last Saturday came in a non-save situation, when he gave up four runs in the ninth inning against the Marlins, including a tying home run from Josh Bell.
The Mets eventually lost that game in extras.

And though Diaz pitched a scoreless seventh inning on Friday, Garrett faltered, and with one final bases-loaded chance in the ninth, Mark Vientos was thrown out by Matt Chapman on an infield dribbler to end the game.
Now 15 1/2 games out of first, Cohen is seemingly unhappy with the slide as the Mets’ hopes continually are dashed.
