Mets end the month of April saddled with a 6-14 mark and sit in 9th place in the NL. We endured a painful nine-game losing streak in which four games were decided by a run.
One cool development: Paul Blair was named the NL Rookie of the Month. Nice recognition for a guy who is seeing limited action, waiting for Richie Ashburn to announce his retirement and exhibiting great instincts on the bases with 10 steals. Defense has been a struggle. Blair has four errors and just one OF assist but that's kind of to be expected from a dude who is only 19. We are more than pleased with his work thus far.
However, why would Ashburn do such a thing? A look at our team stats leaders...
