The New York Mets are enjoying an off day having taken the series against the Cardinals. Although the final game was rained out, the Mets took the opening two contests to move back to .500 with an 18-18 record. It was the team’s first series win since April 19-21. Granted, the Cardinals aren’t exactly a great baseball team right now (15-21), but you can only beat what is put in-front...

Over the last couple of weeks, Pete Alonso has been trying to find his swing and rhythm at the plate. Going into Tuesday night’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals, the New York Mets first baseman was in the middle of a 1-for-32 slump and had the night off on Monday. Well, he was one of the big catalysts in the Mets’ six-run fifth inning as they held on to defeat St. Louis 7-5 to...
For my money, the best play I’ve ever seen an infielder make was on August 12, 2013, by Jose Iglesias. Then in his first of what would be five seasons with the Detroit Tigers, Iglesias was at shortstop when Josh Phegley looped a broken-bat flare just over pitcher Doug Fister. Iglesias, who was playing back, sprinted in, barehanded it, and made a seemingly impossible throw to Prince Fielder at...
It wasn’t a good weekend for the New York Mets. To simplify, it hasn’t been a good stretch for a team that is now 4-10 over their last 14 games. The latest chapter in the slump came in Tamp Bay, with the Mets getting swept by the Rays. There were some standout moments for sure, but in the end, it was a concerning three-game set that exposed all of the Mets’ ugly flaws. With...
The Mets had another underwhelming week of baseball after seemingly turning their fortunes around. After splitting a four-game series at home with the Chicago Cubs, they were swept in Tampa Bay over the weekend series. Finishing the week 2-5, they currently sit in fourth place in the National League East, with the Washington Nationals jumping them in the standings. Only the Miami Marlins, a team...
Entering the season, arguably the biggest question mark surrounding the New York Mets was their starting rotation. After beginning the season strong, the unit has regressed mightily to where several feared it may project to be prior to the season. Specifically, prior to Saturday’s game, the unit ranks 21st in staff ERA (4.34) and 20th in staff WAR (1.8). Earlier on in the season, these...
Just under a decade ago, the New York Mets had a farm system stocked with electric starting pitchers that would later help carry the franchise to a World Series appearance. That core is long gone at this point, however, and for a team whose history is steeped in talent at the position, the Mets have had little to no success developing homegrown rotation arms in recent years. That promises to...
The 2024 New York Mets are a difficult and weird team to try and figure out. There was the 0-5 start, then the hot streak, and now we’re in another strange stretch where the bullpen continues to reign supreme, but yet there are notable red flags across the offense and the defense. We saw the great, the not so great and the confusing sides of the Mets throughout the four-game set against...
After exiting Wednesday’s game with flu-like symptoms, Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor was not in the starting lineup for Thursday’s matinee matchup against the Chicago Cubs. This absence from the lineup was uncharacteristic for Lindor, who had appeared in every contest this season up to that point while also playing 161 games last season and 160 in 2022. As a testament to his...
DJ Stewart had a chance on Monday night to tie the game. The tying runs were on base, and Stewart came to the plate as the go-ahead run. He struck out, leaving two men stranded, and eventually, the Mets fell to the Cubs. Tuesday night, however, presented Stewart with another opportunity. Tied with the Cubs at 1-1 in the bottom of the sixth, Stewart came to the plate with J.D. Martinez and Tyrone...
