A day after the Mets scored seven runs in the fourth inning, the Nationals pulled the same trick en route to a 14-2 victory Wednesday at Citi Field. Peterson, making his first start since April 13 after being demoted to the bullpen, gave up three hard singles to his first four batters. The Nationals led 1-0 and had...

After homering on Opening Day, Carson Benge went into a 2-for-30 slump that saw his batting average tumble to .091 on April 7. But whether it was by faith or necessity, Carlos Mendoza stuck with him, even batting him leadoff at times to try to get him going. The rookie is showing signs of meeting the potential that the Mets saw when they made him the 19th pick of the 2024 draft out of Oklahoma...
Good morning, Mets fans! Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported before Tuesday’s game that Juan Soto has forearm tightness. Heyman noted that he was good to swing, but didn’t play the field.

Well, the New York Mets play more baseball this week. After signs of life against the Twins, the Mets were swept by the Colorado Rockies, firmly falling into last place in the National League. And yes, I am writing those words in late April, and I am just as dumbfounded as you may think. New York lately cannot do anything right as a team, specifically on the hitting side of things. And before...
So many things need fixing for the 9-19 Mets, but for the sake of time (and my sanity) I will focus on three problems. They are swinging at bad pitches, blowing leads and failing in the clutch. Chase Rate Percentage With the Mets down 3-1 in the seventh inning on Sunday against the Rockies, Brett Baty waved at a 1-1 pitch well out of the strike zone. Two pitches later he struck out looking. Per...

Nolan McLean’s career is off to an extraordinary start. Through 14 starts, he has accomplished quite a bit. That continued on Sunday, as McLean reached 100 career strikeouts during his outing against the Rockies. While the start of this season has been difficult from a team perspective, their young ace has maintained the level he showed at the end of last season. Through three innings...
