Twitter Poll: What’s worse: Mets bats or Mets arms?

After another night of sloppy pitching and lack of hitting, I asked my Twitter followers what was worse about the Mets: the bats or the arms?

Here are their responses…

  • wendy93639 said: pitching
  • letsgoduke said: bats
  • pjdempsey said: bats with RISP. Pitching hasn't been horrible as far as runs allowed goes.
  • Section518 said: Bats. Pitchers (outside of Johan) have been bad or shaky, but this offense can pick them up. But they haven't. Yet.
  • PaulsRandomStuf said: The Mets starting pitching, other than Santana, is a disaster. The hitters will eventually get it together (I hope).
  • acesigma said: A billion left on base so far? Batting. No question.
  • Retire31 said: how about timely hitting AND timely pitching.
  • MetsNY81 said: You can make a strong argument for both.. but i'll go with bats.
  • lvadgal said: gotta go with the bats as if they were hitting runs would score and that helps the pitchers.
  • darknova306 said: Pitching. We know the bats will come around, but Maine looks toasted, Ollie is worse than ever and who knows about Pelf's arm
  • gmo418 said: Hitting, 100+ men left on base . Cant drive in runs. Its sad. Hopefully Mets can get healthy on the Nats this weekend.
  • jessicarubin said: Bats.. The pitching has been inconsistent but it could be much worse (*cough*chien-ming wang*cough*) - a few hits would = win
  • samtpage said: They're both good. I'm serious.

Interesting array of answers.  Bats came out as the “winner” but pitching had a strong contingent behind it.
