The first key to success is failure. And the first pitch of Sean Manaea’s brilliant start Thursday against the Royals was the definition of unsuccessful. Lane Thomas came up to the plate, and before many had sat down, deposited a four-seamer 406 feet into the left field seats. The pitch gave the Royals an instant one-run lead, but wound up being half of the Royals’ total runs in the...
Mark Vientos was removed from today’s game after taking a 92 miles per hour sinker to his right hand. While he initially stayed in to run the bases, he was taken out in the top of the next inning. Immediately following the Mets’ 7-3 win over the Royals, the team announced Vientos is going on the injured list with a fractured hand. Brett Baty took over at third base while A.J. Ewing...
Wednesday, July 9, 2026 • 1:10 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY RHP Michael Wacha (5-6, 3.45) vs. LHP Sean Manaea (1-4, 4.76) SNY Tuesday night was another low point for the Mets this season. They lost 16-12 against the Royals, a game they should have easily won. Last night the Mets had a nice bounce-back win with a five-run rally in the eighth inning. The Mets’ offense seems to be clicking,...
The MLB draft is this Saturday, July 11! We previously broke down the typical archetype that Kris Gross and David Stearns typically draft: an athletic college bat that is an up-the-middle defender, with plus plate discipline, plus pitch recognition, a plus hit tool, and can run well. As of our article on July 2, the projected players drafted up to that date were: College Hitter – Aiden Robbins,...
After an absolute slugfest at Citi to open this series against the Royals, Christian Scott delivered what Mets fans were desiring most: a scoreless start. The 27-year-old right-hander lowered his season ERA to 3.17 on Wednesday night, tossing five innings of three-hit ball, allowing no runs and striking out three. He was masterful and had his full arsenal working. “HIs stuff was moving, I...
Shortstop Antonio Jimenez went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base Wednesday in Low-A St. Lucie’s 5-4 loss to Jupiter. It was his third consecutive multi-hit game. He is an eye-popping 9-for-13 with two homers, three doubles and three stolen bases in the three games. Jimenez was a third-round pick last year out of the University of Central Florida and started his first full pro...
Good morning, Mets fans. On Wednesday night, former Mets pitching coach Phil Regan passed away peacefully of natural causes at 89 years old, per Dave Campbell of the Associated Press.

Brett Baty’s two-run single highlighted a five-run, eighth inning rally that helped lift the Mets to a 6-2 victory over the Royals Wednesday at Citi Field. It all started with two outs and nobody on base. Eight consecutive Mets reached base: Francisco Lindor singled, Carson Benge walked, Jorge Polanco reached on an infield single, Jared Young broke a 1-1 tie when he was hit by a pitch with...
Wednesday, July 8, 2026 • 7:10 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY RHP Steven Cruz (2-2, 5.08) vs. RHP Christian Scott (2-1, 3.49) SNY Every game only counts as one win or one loss. The Mets wrapped up a four-game series with the Braves where they split the series but played way worse than two wins. Last night just picked up with that feeling as the Mets lost 16-12 against the Royals. It’s a game the...
Per Will Sammon of the Athletic, Austin Warren was placed on the injured list with an undisclosed injury and will undergo imaging. The Mets already triggered his option for 2026 as he spent more than twenty days in the minor leagues so the injury is serious enough that they felt the need to pace him on the injured list instead of working through things in Syracuse. Warren is coming off...
A lot of runs were scored by Mets minor league teams and we had some strong bounce back pitching performances. A certain veteran began his rehab assignment as well.

The rookie outfielders are doing their best to make it worth tuning in during a season that has been tough to watch. A.J. Ewing went 4-for-4 with a 402-foot homer, three RBIs, four runs scored, a stolen base and a walk. He also made a leaping catch at the wall that deprived the Royals of their 17th run. Carson Benge was 2-for-3 with a “Little League home run,” an RBI, two runs scored...
