Mets finally done with ‘brutal’ West Coast schedule that ruined ‘balance’ of season
The New York Mets have completed a demanding West Coast road trip that accounted for 22 of their 65 games in Pacific and Mountain time zones. Players and staff noted the lack of off‑days when traveling east‑west contributed to scheduling imbalance, a point highlighted by pitcher David Peterson. Manager Carlos Mendoza said the team is coping with the physical toll and looks ahead to series against the Braves and Phillies.
- ▪The Mets played 22 games on the West Coast, facing teams such as the Giants, Dodgers, Angels, Rockies, Diamondbacks, Mariners and Padres.
- ▪The schedule gave the Mets only seven road games in the Eastern time zone and six in the Central, creating an uneven travel load.
- ▪David Peterson criticized the schedule for lacking off‑days when moving from east to west, saying it disrupted the season’s balance.
- ▪Carlos Mendoza said his players are managing sleep, nutrition and recovery despite altitude and time‑zone challenges.
- ▪The Mets will host the Atlanta Braves and later travel to Philadelphia to face the Phillies, ending their West Coast stretch for the regular season.
