Friday, March 22, 2024 • 1:05 PM George M. Steinbrenner Field • Tampa, FL RHP Tyler Stuart (0-0, 0.00) vs. RHP Luis Gil (2-0, 2.31) YES For a second day in a row the Mets hit the road and play a team that is not named the St. Louis Cardinals, Houston Astros, Miami Marlins or Washington Nationals as they head across Florida to take on the New York Yankees in Tampa. Yesterday was a pretty good day...
We got to see two very different sides of the New York Mets yet again during the Subway Series this week. On Tuesday, we witnessed the type of team that could make a really deep run in the postseason and really compete for a World Series. However, it isn’t that straightforward with this team and we saw their bad side on Wednesday as the Mets split both this series and the four-game season...
Wednesday, June 14, 2023 • 7:10 PM Citi Field • Flushing, New York RHP Gerrit Cole (7-1, 2.84) vs. RHP Justin Verlander (2-3, 4.85) ESPN Yesterday may have been the most frustrating Mets loss of the season. They opened the game with a 5-1 lead, looking like they were going to roll through the Yankees. Then, ax Scherzer lost control of the game, the Mets made several defensive miscues, and they...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Angels have purchased the contract of Daniel Murphy from the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League, Long Island’s general manager Michael Pflaff tweeted. The former Met retired following the 2020 season, but got off to a nice start for the Ducks this season, hitting .331/.410/.451 in 161 plate appearances. Additionally, the Ducks have activated Ruben Tejada...
Pitchers at the plate and on the base paths are all but extinct. That’s what makes this moment extra special — even if it was always unique. There was a time in which even the best left-handed major leaguers found excuses to avoid facing Randy Johnson. Dae-Sung Koo, though, had no fear. Or he didn’t know any better. Whatever the reason, the 35-year-old relief pitcher stepped into the...
The concept of interleague play has diluted over time. The Subway Series was no different. Initial and inevitable hype generated by a regular season Mets-Yankees match-up went down in recent years despite it having meaning to some fans. When both teams are playing at a high level it usually rises to the occasion too. The three games at Citi Field last season felt like the old days—infused with...
Good morning, Mets fans! Timmy Trumpet, who does the trumpets in Edwin Diaz’s entrance song “Narco,” will be at Citi Field on Tuesday, the Mets announced. He’ll throw out the first pitch before the game. And if Diaz pitches, Timmy Trumpets will play the song live. The Mets will look to recover from losing on Monday and Tuesday at Yankee Stadium against the Rockies. Jacob deGrom will face off...
Good morning, Mets fans! Let’s start with a positive; today is a new day and the Mets are about to start a 10-game homestand and a stretch of baseball where the schedule gets a lot easier. The bad news? The Mets were swept by the Yankees on Tuesday night and they finished a tough road trip 4-6. Taijuan Walker was near-perfect at Yankee Stadium until he was taken long by Aaron Judge in the...
3 UP Mets Own MVP Race Pete Alonso gets all the hype, and after a series like this, you understand why. Alonso was 4-for-6 with a double, homer, and two RBI. He’s on an absolute tear right now with a 1.300 OPS over the past two weeks. What’s really interesting about that is Alonso is he’s not the best position player on the team according to Baseball Reference’s WAR...
Max Scherzer celebrated his birthday in perfect style on Wednesday after pitching a gem of a start as the Mets swept the Yankees at Citi Field thanks to a Starling Marte walk-off. In what was his first career Subway Series start, Scherzer, delivered a performance fit for the occasion in front of another sell-out crowd in Queens. With another playoff-like atmosphere at Citi Field, Scherzer truly...
There was plenty of hype heading into Tuesday with the Yankees headed to Citi Field with the best record in the majors to face the Mets for two games. Two big crowds — including the 10th biggest in Citi Field history on Wednesday at 43,693– got to witness a pair of great games that ended with a walk-off single by Mets outfielder Starling Marte on Wednesday to complete the sweep. The...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Yankees have acquired OF Andrew Benintendi for three pitching prospects (Chandler Champlain, T.J. Sikkema, and Beck Way). Aaron Boone believes that the left-handed-hitting Benintendi, an AL All-Star this season, can make a very strong lineup even stronger. Now, it is time for the morning briefing. Latest Mets News On Wednesday, the Mets defeated the New York Yankees,...
