Pete Alonso’s exhausted reaction during Mets game perfectly summed up New York’s disastrous season

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso looks like he’s just about had it with how his team’s season is going during a game on Friday night.

The Mets are in the midst of a nightmarish season, one that started with them as World Series contenders and sits with them as one of baseball’s biggest 2023 disappointments.

During Friday night’s home tilt against the San Francisco Giants, the Mets led 4-2 in the game until catcher Patrick Bailey blasted a homer and gave San Francisco a 5-4 lead in the top of the eighth inning.

That score would hold, putting the Mets at a tough 36-46 record for the year as June closes.

Once Bailey hit the homer, Alonso couldn’t hide his frustration at the blown lead… and likely at the whole New York season in general.

The game camera caught Alonso close his eyes, throw his head back and seemingly deliver a deep sigh of exhaustion before refocusing himself for the game.

Alonso also cracked one of his bats in half after the fifth inning, so it was just not a good night for him in general.

Can you blame him? Alonso is an excellent player who, like many on the Mets’ roster, really deserves a lot more than how this season has gone for his team.

Unless things turn around dramatically for New York, Alonso’s moments of frustration probably aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
