First reported by Daniel Wrexler, the New York Mets are promoting two-way player Nolan McLean from High-A Brooklyn to Double-A Binghamton. McLean, a third-round pick during the 2023 MLB Amateur Draft, has excelled as both a pitcher and hitter in 2024. As a pitcher, he started seven games for Brooklyn, posting a 2.57 ERA. Across 28 innings of work, he allowed only 20 hits to go along with 36...
The New York Mets (21-24) entered Sunday’s contest with the Miami Marlins hoping to avoid getting swept for the third time, in a three-game series, this season. After a demoralizing loss on Saturday, the Mets bounced back on Sunday afternoon at loanDepot Park in Miami earning a 7-3 decision. Led by two big innings, and just enough out of the bullpen, the Mets were able to get it done....
Sunday, May 19, 2024 • 1:40 PM loanDepot Park • Miami, FL LHP Sean Manaea (2-1, 3.05) vs. RHP Sixto Sánchez (0-1, 5.96) WPIX Saturday’s game certainly was a gut-wrenching loss for the New York Mets. The Mets offense has struggled for stretches of the season, so losing a game after scoring nine runs from 15 hits has to burn. Losing it because of the bullpen, which was the Mets greatest strength...
The New York Mets’ offense has not produced at the level expected of them so far this season. A lineup that includes Pete Alonso, J.D. Martinez and Francisco Lindor, among so many other quality individuals, is more than capable of performing at much higher levels collectively. Despite this, a sign of good things to come showcased itself in Saturday’s loss to the Miami Marlins, one...
If there was a perfect way to describe how the 2024 season has started for the New York Mets, look no further than Saturday’s gut-wrenching loss. The team lead 7-2, then 9-5, en route to blowing the lead in the ninth inning and falling 10-9 in the 10th inning. At the center of it was once again closer Edwin Díaz. In his first season back after missing all of last year due to a complete...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets lost a heartbreaker in Miami on Saturday, dropping Game 2 to the Marlins 10-9 in 10 innings. Edwin Díaz continued to struggle in his outing Saturday, giving up a four-run lead in the ninth to take the game to extra innings, in which the Marlins went on to walk it off in the 10th. The Mets (20-25) and Marlins (15-32) close out their series on Sunday at 1:40 p.m....
When it rains, it pours. When it’s rock bottom, it’s really rock bottom. Whatever happened on Saturday, was exactly it for the New York Mets. Even after a drastic lineup change and the offense exploded for nine runs, they still couldn’t find a way to win. The reason: the pitching and their closer going through one of his worst stretches of his career and he himself hitting rock...
Saturday, May 18, 2024 • 4:10 PM loanDepot Park • Miami, FL RHP Luis Severino (2-2, 3.00) vs. LHP Braxton Garrett (0-0, 8.44) WPIX Friday night was not a good one in Mets land. Christian Scott had his first difficult start in the majors while the offense just disappeared completely. The result was a Marlins 8-0 victory. For the Marlins, it was their fourth win in their last five games including...
The Mets are shaking up their lineup. Presumably, in an attempt to generate more offense, Carlos Mendoza has inked Francisco Lindor as the leadoff hitter on Saturday against Braxton Garrett. Brandon Nimmo is slated to hit third. Lindor has struggled so far in 2024, but has Garrett’s number. In fourteen at-bats against the lefty, Lindor is 5-for-14 with three homers and one double....
The Mets 2024 season has mimicked a rollercoaster ride featuring many ups, downs, and loops. But the offense as of late has mirrored Kingda Ka. The fall continued Friday against the Marlins at loanDepot park, where the club was shutout for the fifth time in 44 games. They mustered only five hits against lefty Jesús Luzardo, who struck out eight Mets and entered the day with a 5.97 ERA. The only...
After two strong outings in which he struck out six and eight batters respectively, Mets’ right-handed pitcher, Christian Scott faced his first rough outing of his career on Friday evening against the Miami Marlins. Scott gave up four runs on seven hits, one walk, a home run, and struck out just three batters in four innings of work on Friday against Miami. Of his pitches thrown on Friday, he...
Good morning, Mets fans! Per Tisha Thompson of ESPN, former Angels infielder David Fletcher bet on sports with the same bookmaker that Ippei Mizuhara, Shohei Ohtani’s former interpreter, used. Fletcher, who is currently in the Braves organization, was a teammate of Ohtani’s for several years, and per Thompson, was one of Ohtani’s best friends in the game. It’s a pretty...
