José Quintana took the mound for the sixth inning on Friday, holding on to a 1-1 lead with the Reds in the seventh game of the Mets 2024 season. The lefty had escaped a jam in the fifth with the help of third baseman Brett Baty, and started the sixth strong by striking out Stuart Fairchild and inducing a ground out from Elly De La Cruz. Unfortunately, Quintana was unable to complete the sixth,...

Charlie Blackmon and Kris Bryant walked...

Four of their five projected starters are currently unavailable, and they are riding with Kodai Senga and four pitchers who were expected to start the season in Triple-A. To make matters worse, the Mets’ makeshift rotation will likely still be in place as they have their first series of the season against their biggest rivals in the NL...
Arguably, the biggest disappointment for the New York Mets through 22 games is starting pitcher David Peterson. The 27-year-old Oregon graduate excelled in spring training, resulting in him rightfully winning the last rotation spot to begin the season.
