Francisco Lindor has not gotten off to the start he wanted for the New York Mets this season.

Lindor has gone just 3-for-21 (.143) during the Mets’ first six games of the season. He has yet to drive in a run. He is also coming off a brutal series in St. Louis against the Cardinals, in particular during Wednesday’s series finale in New York’s crushing 2-1 loss in 11 innings.

The 32-year-old went 1-for-10 in the series. He also made two costly mental mistakes in the field and on the bases. Lindor first forgot how many outs there were in the first inning when he calmly jogged to second base on a ground ball with one out in the inning. He then started jogging towards the Mets’ dugout.

Lindor hurt the Mets again when he got picked off of first base in the sixth inning. A few pitches later, Juan Soto broke the scoreless tie with a solo home run. Lindor getting picked off in that inning proved to be the difference in a 2-1 extra inning loss.

Following the tough day and series for Lindor, former Mets shortstop Jose Reyes came to the five-time All-Star’s defense in an X post.

Lindor owned up to his mental mistakes after Wednesday’s loss to St. Louis, telling reporters, “I forgot the outs. I made a mistake that probably cost [Freddy] Peralta to go an extra inning, because he had to throw more pitches after that.”

Lindor has been accustomed to getting off to slow starts throughout his six seasons with the Mets. But these mental lapses are very unlike the de facto captain of the team.

The Mets are six games into the season and their offense has been sputtering since their 11-run outburst on Opening Day. However, they should still be pleased that they have a 3-3 record to begin the year.
