The 2026 season has been less than stellar for our New York Mets, to put it nicely. Changes clearly need to be made – but what should those changes be? Here’s what our team thinks. David Melendi Well, here goes nothing. I would play Baty every day at third, move Bichette to second, and play Mauricio at short until Lindor comes back. For the pitching, the top 3 are set, Tobias Myers...
As of April 28, Alex Cora, formerly of the Boston Red Sox, and Rob Thompson, formerly of the Philadelphia Phillies were fired from their managerial positions over the last week. Managers have been fired as early as six games into a season, though most tend to be let go around Memorial Day. The Red Sox and Phillies have had a start to the season about as bad as the Mets and hope these changes in...
The New York Mets are an absolute train wreck. While it is still April, this team appears to be broken. And there doesn’t appear to be any tangible sign of a turnaround on the horizon, either. Instead, the Mets just keep taking backward steps. Take this weekend, for example. New York was swept at home by the Rockies. And, if you need reminding, Colorado lost 119 games in 2025. The offense...
Rejoice! The New York Mets finally won a game and a series! After the losing streak hit 12 consecutive games, the Mets finally put an end to the downslide by taking two out of three from the Minnesota Twins. It wasn’t always pretty or straightforward, and the series win did come with a cost with Francisco Lindor picking up a potentially serious injury. However, it was important that the...
Thursday, April 38, 2026 • 7:10 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY RHP Joe Ryan (2-2, 3.29) vs. RHP Christian Scott (0-0, -.–) SNY The Mets look to win a series for the first time in what feels like 37 years tonight! Last night, the Mets squeaked by the Twins 3-2 to snap their 12-game losing streak. It was a bittersweet end to a tough stretch as Francisco Lindor injured his calf and is now on...
The New York Mets are making headlines for all the wrong reasons. After being swept by the Cubs in Chicago, the Mets have now lost 11 consecutive games and are 7-15 on the season. That’s tied for the worst record in all of baseball. Furthermore, the Mets rank last in a number of statistical categories, including the most important one: runs. They also look incompetent in almost every...
On Sunday, the Mets opted to use Tobias Myers to open in front of David Peterson. While this was likely intended as a way to circumvent the issues Peterson has had early in games — which worked — it did also signal a potential loss of faith in Peterson by the Mets. That, coupled with the Mets not naming a starter for Thursday’s game, on Kodai Senga’s day to pitch, raises the...
Entering Monday, the Mets are second-worst in baseball runs scored (72), have hit the fourth-fewest home runs (16), walked the fourth-fewest times (64) and have the worst OBP in baseball (.288) and second-worst SLG (.336) and second-worst OPS (.624). The pitching, of course, is a story of its own. This all comes on top of a 7-15 record, an 11-game losing streak, and a tied-for-the-worst record...
On Saturday, the New York Mets suffered their 10th straight loss. They have not won a game since April 7, nearly two weeks ago. With their 10 losses the Mets now own a 7-14 record which is tied for last in Major League Baseball with the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals. When looking back in team history, the Mets still have a decent ways to go to match the franchise’s longest...
Brett Baty looked like he broke out in 2025. He took the ball deeper to combat his pitch recognition issues and utilized his plus bat speed to drive the ball. He traded contact rates for power and no longer focused on pulling the ball in the air, letting his plus exit velocities make up for going the other way. After a small swing adjustment in mid-April to prevent dropping his barrel, Baty...
Things appear pretty bleak for the New York Mets right now. While still early, the last couple of weeks have been ugly, and the struggles continued with the Mets being swept by the Dodgers in LA. Over the course of the three games, New York was outscored 14-3. In all, the offense has managed a measly three runs over the last 38 innings. Furthermore, mental errors continue to plague this team....
The Mets are currently 26th in runs scored. They are 28th in OPS, 24th in AVG, 27th in OBP, and 24th in home runs. They are 10th in strikeout rate which is the closest to a results based positive there is. Across this seven game losing streak the Mets have slashed .182/.215/.262/.477 scoring only ten runs. So what is the cause of this team wide slump? Let’s take a deeper dive. Zone Contact...
