Are the winds of the season slowly starting to shift in favor of the Mets? After a series victory over the cross-town Yankees, the Mets hold a 10-5 record in May. They sit only six games below .500, hanging around the fringes of the NL playoff picture with more than half the season remaining. And thanks to the contributions of A.J. Ewing, Carson Benge, Juan Soto, and more, the team is showing...
For large stretches of this young season, the New York Mets have struggled offensively. Injuries have played a major factor, for sure. No argument there. But even when they were close to full strength, their lineup was still performing far below expectations. Entering Monday, the homestand against Detroit, the team ranked second-worst in MLB in batting average (.222) and hits (295), and worst in...
Good morning, Mets fans! Best win of the year! RIP to the streak of losing when trailing after eight innings. It died Sunday at 91 games.

The Mets are now six games under .500, but with all the momentum on their...

Winning baseball games is always fun. Wins against a rival? Even more fun. The New York Mets took down the New York Yankees on Saturday night thanks in large part to relief outings from Luke Weaver and Devin Williams. What are some things that these players have in common? They both are relief pitchers on the New York Mets. They both were born on the 21st of a month. They both made their major...
The New York Mets’ farm system saw a mixed bag of results on Saturday night, splitting their four games into a 2-2 record. Xzavion Curry made his debut within the organization, which feels more notable now than before in light of the Clay Holmes injury. The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (Double-A) and Brooklyn Cyclones (High-A) struggled at the plate again, as both continue to be offensive...

One day after they lost Clay Holmes to a fractured fibula, the New York Mets took game two of the 2026 Subway Series against the New York Yankees 6-3 thanks to a pair of good performances by Juan Soto and Luke Weaver. Weaver, especially, had the gutsiest performance by any Mets pitcher this season as he battled out of a bases-loaded and nobody-out jam. David Peterson was solid out of the bullpen...
