Mets Suffer Crushing 4-0 Loss, Miss Playoffs in Final Game

UPDATE: In a heartbreaking conclusion to their season, the New York Mets fell 4-0 to the Miami Marlins on September 30, 2025, missing the playoffs in devastating fashion. The Mets needed a win to secure the National League’s final wild card spot, but their hopes vanished as they stumbled in the final game of the regular season at LoanDepot Park.

This loss not only ends the Mets’ season but also marks a historic collapse for a team that began the year with high expectations. On June 12, they boasted the best record in baseball at 38-31, but a dismal 38-55 finish left them tied with the Cincinnati Reds at 83-79. The Reds advanced to the postseason due to a head-to-head tiebreaker.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza expressed his frustration after the game, stating, “It’s hard to describe what we’re going through. It’s pain. It’s frustration.” The emotional toll was evident as players like Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto reflected on the team’s inability to execute when it mattered most. Lindor admitted, “It was something that was on us…we didn’t do the job.”

The downfall began with a series of injuries, including a significant setback when pitcher Kodai Senga strained his hamstring on June 12. The team’s rotation struggled to maintain effectiveness, leading to an overworked bullpen and inconsistent offensive performance throughout the second half of the season.

The Mets’ last chance came in the fifth inning when Pete Alonso hit a powerful line drive that looked destined for extra bases but was caught by Marlins left fielder Javier Sanoja. “I thought for sure it was a double,” Alonso said, reflecting the collective disappointment felt by the team.

As the game progressed, the Mets’ final inning opportunities slipped away when Lindor grounded into a double play, sealing their fate as they finished the season with a disheartening record of 0-70 when trailing after eight innings.

This season’s collapse echoes past failures for the Mets, joining the infamous collapses of 2007 and 2008. “It’s a failure,” Soto remarked. “Anytime you don’t make it to the playoffs or win a championship, it’s a failure.” The disappointment is palpable as the franchise faces an uncertain offseason, with key players like Alonso exploring free agency.

The Reds, now poised for a three-game wild card series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, will begin their postseason journey on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Mets return home after a season filled with unfulfilled potential and shattered hopes. Fans are left wondering how a season that began with such promise turned into a bitter disappointment.

As the Mets reflect on their missed opportunities and prepare for the future, the urgency to rebuild and refocus for next season grows stronger. The road ahead is uncertain, but the need for change is clear as they aim to end this cycle of disappointment.
