SAN DIEGO — Bo knows small pockets of success, but how about helping to carry this Mets lineup?
Such is the challenge facing Bo Bichette, as his team — anchored by dead weight — has sunk toward the ocean floor.
The Mets began play on Friday ranked 29th in MLB with a .652 OPS and Bichette’s underperformance, as a centerpiece of last winter’s lineup overhaul, has contributed.
The Mets got a small taste Wednesday of what a productive Bichette means: His 4-for-4 performance was central in the team’s 7-1 victory over the Mariners.
