Ranking Each Mets Opening Day Victory

The bad news about having to order the Mets’ season-opening wins is there are so many to list. The good news is there are a lot of wins. With a Tom Seaver’s amount of “W”s in their history, and the MLB’s best winning percentage in this part of the schedule, here’s a rundown from 41 to 1. 41. 2020 If an Opening Day win occurs but no fans are there to see it,...

3 Up, 3 Down: Let The Real Games Begin

We’ve made it, everybody. Spring training is finally over and Opening Day is now just exactly two sleeps away as the New York Mets prepare to get the 2024 regular season underway. Spring, as it always is, proved to be a long slog down the home stretch as appetite for games that actually matter grew and grew by the day. After all, there’s only so much  Grapefruit League action a sane...

The Mets Had the Best Spring Training ERA. Can They Keep it Up?

Spring training is fake baseball. We know this. It gets the kinks out. But we always look for pockets of hope, especially as you follow a team whose expectations aren’t exactly World Series or bust. You can point to Brett Baty’s great March. Francisco Álvarez looks like a real threat in preventing the run game. And the Mets’ rotation could actually be greater than the sum of...

Recapping the Mets’ 2024 Spring Training

With the Mets gearing up for their final Spring Training game, let’s look back at their 2024 spring season A different group will break north with the team than previously expected when spring began, but that’s typically how things work. Players get injured, others underperform, while some have themselves a spring to remember. Below, we’ll reflect on what occurred these past...

3 Up, 3 Down: J.D. Boost, Positive Senga News, Boneheaded Rules

We’ve nearly made it. Spring training is now firmly in the home stretch and Opening Day is less than a week away for the New York Mets. With less than a handful of Grapefruit League games remaining, we have a pretty good idea of what the Opening Day roster will look like and there is very little still up in the air. As such, now is the perfect time to round up the good and the bad from the...

Martinez, who gives the Mets a much-needed power bat in the middle of their lineup at the designated hitter spot. So, what do we think the Mets’ Opening Day lineup is going to look like?

Mets Rotation Filled With Question Marks to Start 2024 Season

With spring training practically in the books, the Mets rotation has been set for the upcoming 2024 season. On Thursday, Carlos Mendoza spoke to the media, announcing Tylor Megill won the final spot in the rotation, joining José Quintana, Luis Severino, Sean Manaea, and Adrian Houser. Megill, who wasn’t promised a rotation spot for 2024, pitched well enough this spring to earn another...

Brett Baty Finding His Swing At End Of Spring Training

For most players, they would like to find their form both at the plate and on the mound in the final week of spring training. With the New York Mets giving Brett Baty every opportunity to take the Opening Day third base spot, he is trying to do just that.  On Tuesday night against the St. Louis Cardinals, Baty hit a solo home run to lead off the bottom of the second against Lance Lynn to tie the...

Projecting Mets’ 2024 Opening Day Roster 2.0

Once the first batch of spring training games were underway, I projected what the Mets’ Opening Day roster would be. These projections are never certain, given injuries, surprises and more. However, with just ten days to go until the Mets open their season against the Brewers, let’s do another projection based on how spring training games have transpired thus far. Starting Lineup...

Mets 2024 Positional Outlook: The Outfield

If there is one thing about the New York Mets set in 2024, it is their outfield. It isn’t disputed who their starting three are and that they will be in the lineup every day. What did happen was that one of their starting outfielders will play a new position. Brandon Nimmo, one of the team’s cornerstones, will now move to left field. The reason? The signing of Harrison Bader. Despite...
