David Stearns, the Mets' president of baseball operations, expressed confidence in the team's hitting coaches and emphasized that offensive slumps are part of baseball. Despite recent poor performance, including losing eight of nine games and a no-hit loss, he believes the talented players will eventually perform to their capabilities. The team did not make any coaching or roster changes ahead of their series against the Brewers, maintaining a similar lineup. Stearns acknowledged player frustration but remains optimistic about improvement.
I have confidence in our hitting coaches. I think we have good hitting coaches. They have track records of helping to lead and put together really quality offenses.
We have talented players who go through stretches like this. Over the last couple of weeks, we've really had a lineup that's gone through stretches like this, where we haven't performed up to our capabilities.
I believe in our guys, and clearly everyone's frustrated. Players are frustrated. At times I've been frustrated, but I believe this will turn around.
We have good hitting coaches. This is, at times, baseball, and it will drive you crazy.
