Cohen criticizes ‘unproductive’ Mets hitters amid slump

KIFI

NEW YORK (AP) β€” New York Mets owner Steven Cohen has criticized his team following its season-worst fifth straight loss, showing a side much like that of late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner. β€œIt’s hard to understand how professional hitters can be this unproductive,” Cohen tweeted Wednesday, a day after a 3-2 loss at San Francisco. β€œThe best teams have a more disciplined approach. The slugging and OPS numbers don’t lie.” The Mets were bought by Cohen last offseason and had sole possession of the NL East lead from May 9 until Aug. 6. They have lost 12 of their past 16 games, falling to 59-60 entering Wednesday.Β
