Time To End the Luis Rojas Experiment

As a Mets fan I’ve experienced my fair share of gut punches over the years, but last night’s tenth inning loss to the Marlins definitely ranks as the worst one this season. If there’s a way to transform your typical loss into an excruciatingly painful experience, look no further than the New York Mets. They have made losing an art form. Now, I’m not one of those fans that...

Aaron Loup Hopes to Re-Sign With Mets

Aaron Loup has been a slightly above-average pitcher for most of his major league career. His 123 ERA+ from 2o12-2020 backs up that statement.

Questionable Rojas Decisions Sink Mets as Marlins Win, 2-1

You have a base open. You have a runner on third. You have the best hitter on the team, Bryan De La Cruz, up next and a guy named Lewin Diaz who’s hitting .108 on the on deck circle. Oh, it’s the bottom of the tenth. It seems like every manager from little league to the majors easily makes this call. Walk De La Cruz. But that’s precisely what did not happen and like clockwork...
