The New York Mets swept the Detroit Tigers and have now won three of their last four series. They no longer have the worst record in baseball as well, with the Los Angeles Angels (16-28), Houston Astros (17-28), Colorado Rockies (17-27) and San Francisco Giants (18-26) all trailing the Mets (18-25) now. The young players are coming alive and are helping to pick up this struggling and...
It’s official – The New York Mets have the worst record in baseball once again. Despite finishing a long road trip 5-4, the Mets return home with a 15-25 record on the year. After showing some progress against Anaheim and Colorado, New York dropped two out of three to the Diamondbacks. At this point, it is fair to wonder if we’re just destined for a long, tough season full of...
The New York Mets are bad. Not the entire team — but most of it. The pitching, aside from a weak link in the rotation, has generally been pretty good. The offense has been a glaring problem. At this point, it’s time to cut bait and move on to the next generation of Mets. The Outfield It all starts with A.J. Ewing. With Luis Robert Jr. injured and without a timetable to return, Ewing should...
The term “snakebitten” is often used in sports to describe a team, or player, plagued by extreme bad luck or simply not getting the results they may have been deserved. Ironically enough, against the team named the Diamondbacks, the New York Mets’ offense found themselves “snakebit” in their 2-1 loss in Arizona at Chase Field Saturday night. In that Saturday affair,...
Things went well for the New York Mets in Colorado, but they could have gone even better. The Mets took two out of three from the Rockies, but missed out on the sweep following a sloppy series finale. Even when winning, this team is still showing plenty of warts. Still, the Mets have now won four of six games and are showing some signs of improvement. There is a lot of work to be done, but we...
A lot of Spring Training is noise, but at the end of March we looked at one data point for each hitter in spring to see if they would translate to the regular season. One month in we check back in to see if any of these stuck into the regular season. Freddy Peralta – Zone Rate – Did Not Maintain Freddy Peralta has averaged roughly the same innings per start in 2026 as he did in 2025. In...

The New York Mets opened their three-game revenge series in Denver with a 4-2 win. The win brings them to .500 over their last 12 games. While not exactly the trajectory of a playoff team, it’s definitely better than the stretch preceding this recent run. Monday’s victory was, stop me if you’ve heard this before, not the best offensive showing from this Mets club. The team mustered only four...
Through the first 35 games of the 2026 season, the Mets sit at 13-22. They field what is among the worst records in all of Major League Baseball, with one of the worst-performing offenses in the game right now. They’ve seen their season take a huge hit with a 12-game losing streak and being swept at home by teams such as the Athletics and the Colorado Rockies. There are areas to improve,...
For just the second time this season, and the first since early April, the New York Mets won a series on the road. The Mets took two out of three from the Angels to get the road trip off to a promising start. As a result, New York improved to 12-22 on the year. Of course, it is too early to tell if this is the start of a turnaround. The Mets hardly made it easy in Anaheim, committing a series of...
Heading into 2026, MMO named Nolan McLean, Carson Benge and Jonah Tong as the New York Mets’ top three prospects. Now a month into the season, McLean and Benge are big-leaguers, and Tong has faltered a bit. That arguably leaves A.J. Ewing as the Mets’ best prospect. In Double-A, he proved why. Ewing was nothing short of fantastic, and for the second year in a row, earned himself a promotion...
It was not a happy homestand for the New York Mets. Looking to fatten up against lowly opposition, the Mets instead finished with a disappointing 3-6 record. That included a sweep by the Colorado Rockies. The Mets finished the homestand by dropping two out of three to the Washington Nationals. As a result, New York is now the worst team in baseball with an ugly 10-21 record. The Mets have also...
