The New York Mets snapped out of their funk by beating the Tampa Bay Rays. Having previously lost four of five and seven of their last 11 going into the Rays series, the Mets were looking to stop the skid. They did exactly that by winning two out of three. Without further ado, let’s recap everything from the three games in the latest edition of 3 Up, 3 Down… 3 UP DREAM NIGHT Nick...
Since mid-July Mets pitching prospect Jonah Tong has put up impressive results, and in his most recent start carried a no hitter into the seventh inning. As that was part of a Triple-A double header, those seven scoreless innings Tong pitched amounted to the entire game. Across eight starts beginning July 18, Tong has a 2.20 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with a 26% strikeout rate and 11.8% walk rate across...
The New York Mets continue to struggle after dropping a series to the Astros. The Mets lost two out of three to Houston for their third straight series loss. As a result, they have now lost four of five and seven of their last 11. Still, it is hardly about wins and losses at this point. There were some positives to take from the three games against Houston. On that note, let’s recap...
Former top-100 prospect Ryan Clifford, who the New York Mets acquired from the Houston Astros as part of the Justin Verlander trade in 2023 was placed on the development list on August 19. It is easy to sound the alarms, but this is not necessarily a full reason to panic. Obviously, if everything was going well Clifford would not have been put on this list. On the season Clifford is slashing...
The New York Mets were undone by a lack of offense in their series against the Brewers. Over the course of the three-game set, the Mets scored just five runs. In all, they were outscored 19-5 by Milwaukee. Furthermore, there was also some bad pitching with the Brewers mainly beating up on their hosts. Wins and losses don’t matter, of course, but we are starting to see the Mets come back to...
On Tuesday, Zac Thornton twirled another quality start en route to a thrilling 3-2 Mets win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Thornton has been one of the bright spots in an otherwise hugely disappointing 2026 for the orange and blue. Through 10 MLB starts, Thornton has pitched 56 1/3 innings with a 2.88 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. Thornton is yet another success story for the pitcher development side,...
It is time for another series preview for the New York Mets. The Milwaukee Brewers, who own the best record in MLB, are set to arrive in New York for a three-game series. New York will have to contend with some of the Brewers’ best pitchers, including the formidable Jacob Misiorowski. There is plenty to get into, so let us dive into it! Tuesday: Zac Thornton (3-4, 3.04 ERA) vs. Kyle...
The New York Mets suffered not one but two walk-off losses against the White Sox. Both losses were nail-biters, while the Mets’ only win of the series featured a home run explosion. Still, it was a crushing way to lose a series. Although there were plenty of positives to take from Chicago, the Mets are now 59-72 on the year. On that note, let’s recap everything from the White Sox...
The Mets have performed much better on both sides of the ball since selling at the Trade Deadline, with their offense ranking fourth in WRC+ and their pitching ranking fourteenth in ERA in all of baseball. With the Mets playing loose out of the playoff picture, a few stood out in particular over the past week. Offensive Player of the Week: Luis Robert Jr., OF When a player closes in on slugging...
What goes into creating a successful bullpen? Surely teams need to spend heavily to acquire as many high-priced and established leverage relievers as possible to have success, correct? Well, not necessarily. The 2025 Dodgers’ World Series Roster contained only one primary reliever making over $10 million must have been an anomaly, as long as you ignore the 2024 Dodgers’ World Series...
Add the 2026 season as a footnote to the Mets’ long fable of unlucky moments and unfortunate seasons. The year hasn’t gone as planned. And that’s stating the obvious. Despite high preseason expectations, injuries to the club’s key players and a lack of quality pitching depth contributed to the team’s early-season 12-game losing streak. The slog, the club’s longest since 2003, effectively erased...
The New York Mets just continue to roll. After taking two out of three from the Padres, the Mets have now clinched four series wins in the month of August. Furthermore, they are now a red-hot 11-4 over their last 15 games. It sure looks like the foundation is taking shape for the 2027 season and beyond. Finishing this year strong will only serve to raise the optimism currently being felt in...
