With Francisco Lindor's return to the Mets looming, he opened up about the offensive struggles he has endured this season.Before straining his right Spencer Turnbull Jersey oblique on July 16, Lindor was slashing just .228/.326/.376 with 11 home runs and 36 RBIs in 87 games since signing a 10-year, $341 million mega extension with the Mets on the eve of the 2021 regular season.And while Lindor's re-insertion into the lineup will be an immediate boost for a unit that has been rather disappointing, he was honest about his own troubles at the plate this year.We Josh Harrison Jersey have been getting that me sage the whole year, Lindor said of Steve Cohens tweet calling out his unproductive hitters. We havent really hit all year long. I havent performed. I havent done it. The bottom line is I havent done what Im here to do when it comes to the offensive side. Defense, they cant talk to me. Base-running, they cant talk to me either. Offensively, criticize me and say whatever you want, because you are right. They are all right."Im with them. I havent performed, so that me sage that Steve sent the other day, hes been an owner, hes been a fan, he is very pa sionate, he is just letting people know how he felt. Hes been very vocal in tweeting in the past year that I have been aware of who he is. Me sage to us? No. The me sage has been sent every single day.Despite Pete Alonso and J.D. Davis' production, Lindor Leonys Martin Jersey cited the rest of the lineup, which have all endured underwhelming seasons.Scroll to ContinueIm below for sure its a fact, Lindor said. It sucks. That is the only way I can put it. It Al Kaline Jersey sucks.On a positive note, Lindor and Javier Bez (back spasms) are close to returning, but time is running out, as the Mets are now seven games back in the NL East.I dont worry, but there is a sense of urgency for sure and I think we all have that impre sion, Lindor said. We all want to go out there and give our best. Its been a tough stretch for the New York Mets, however, good things will come and I am staying optimistic that good things will happen."We continue to play the game as hard as we can and hopefully at some point we have got to win some games for sure, hopefully not too late.Manager Luis Rojas says Lindor and Bez could potentially return, as soon as Sunday. And while Lindor wouldn't say if he expected to be back for the Mets' series finale with the Dodgers, he did say he is ready.I want Blank Jersey to be out there and grind with the boys, Lindor said. But well see what happens.
