Mets fans – In a Saturday night blowout that left the Mets trailing 11-1 through five innings and down 13-1 after manager Carlos Mendoza watched New York fall, fans turned to social media with brutal, NSFW criticism. Injury troubles — including Francisco Lindor — only add
The New York Mets walked into Saturday already fighting injuries, including Francisco Lindor, and then got hit with a kind of defeat that snaps the room’s patience in minutes.
Philadelphia turned the evening into a rout, leaving the Mets trailing 11-1 through five innings. By the time the score had widened further, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was watching New York get swallowed by a 13-1 loss.
While the Mets’ offense struggled to get traction, Mets fans didn’t hold back online. As the scoreline got worse, they came after the Mets relentlessly — including a direct call-out of Freddy Peralta for allowing seven runs in that five-inning stretch.
One fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter, “The Mets aren’t gonna get s— for him after trading two prospects. Embarrassing.” Another followed with a “the Mets are a–” rant. The vulgar backlash didn’t stop there, either.
The anger was made even sharper by what was happening at the plate. New York finally broke through with its first moment of life at the top of the fourth inning, when Mark Vientos hit a solo home run off an 87 miles per hour changeup — and it still only nudged the score to 11-1 for Philadelphia.
Harper made the damage feel complete. Bryce Harper hit a triple to complete the cycle, turning an already lopsided night into something fans will remember long after the final out.
After New York’s scoreless streak ended and Philadelphia’s advantage continued to climb, the Mets’ frustrations spilled into deeper criticism of the franchise itself.
Mets owner Steve Cohen drew harsher heat than even the baseball failures on display. One bitter Mets fan pointed to Cohen’s earlier promises to supporters, recalling how Cohen told fans it would be a “major disappointment” if the franchise didn’t play for a World Series title in five years.
That warning came in 2021. With Cohen overseeing operations since then, the Mets have made the playoffs twice — but the fan account’s rage still cut through: “The laughing stock of baseball every single day and every single year,” it ranted.
Back on the field, Philadelphia’s offensive surge kept coming, and the Mets never managed to slow it down. By the end, Mendoza’s Mets had slid to a 13-1 defeat, with fans left to process not just the loss, but the humiliation that arrived early — and kept expanding long after it started.

11-1 through five innings is just disgusting.
I didn’t even read it all but if they were blaming Peralta already then yeah… that’s on him. Also Lindor hurt again? like cmon.
Freddy Peralta giving up 7 runs in 5 innings sounds like a Madden game. But also Steve Cohen said World Series in 5 years so people acting shocked is weird. Like it’s been basically 5 years? idk time is fake.
The NSFW stuff is wild but honestly if Bryce Harper hit for the cycle then the Mets basically just rolled over. Why is Carlos Mendoza always “watching” too, put someone in, sheesh. And 87 mph changeup?? that’s the kind of pitch you hang and then it’s over.
