Heading into the season, the Mets needed to bolster their outfield depth, a longstanding issue for the team. While having Brandon Nimmo, Jeff McNeil, and Starling Marte in the outfield is a solid setup, additional depth was necessary. The Mets addressed this need during the offseason, notably by acquiring Tyrone Taylor from Milwaukee and signing Harrison Bader to a one-year contract. Bader...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets begin a three-game series against the Guardians at Progressive Field this evening, with Tylor Megill (0-1, 2.25 ERA) slated to make his return to the rotation against righty Ben Lively (2-2, 3.06 ERA). Megill has been sidelined since April 1 due to a shoulder injury. This is the Mets’ first series in Cleveland since 2016 and Francisco Lindor’s first...
The New York Mets are reportedly set to make more promotions on Sunday. According to Will Sammon of the Athletic, the Mets are promoting pitcher Blade Tidwell and outfielder Rhylan Thomas from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse. This coming after it was reported that two-way player Nolan McLean was being promoted from High-A Brooklyn to Double-A Binghamton earlier Sunday afternoon. Tidwell...
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....
