The reason we gravitate to sports is for the story they tell. There’s always a hero to root for, the home team, a villain to make an enemy out of, and a journey to embark on. The 2024 Mets took us all on an epic journey, no doubt about it. While it wasn’t the ending many wanted, and it stings coming up short so close to glory, the future has never been brighter in Queens, and the...
It’s always exciting to watch players revive their careers, especially when they exceed expectations. Like R.A. Dickey before him, Luis Severino seems to be doing just that. Severino signed a one-year, $13 million deal this offseason, aiming to bounce back from a rough 2023 with the Yankees, where he posted a 6.65 ERA over 89 1/3 innings. Despite numerous injury setbacks, Severino was...
After being swept by the Mariners to conclude their long road trip, the New York Mets (61-57) return home to face the Oakland Athletics (50-69). The Mets struggled mightily against the Mariners over the weekend, only scoring one run among three losing efforts. They sit one game behind the Braves for the final Wild Card spot after winning four of 10 games on their road trip. This series against...
With just over a month left in the 2024 season and the Wild Card race as tight as ever, the Mets find themselves in the thick of things. They had a scorching summer, producing one of the best records in baseball over June and July, which catapulted them into the postseason race. It’s a far cry from where they were at the beginning of the season when they looked like sure sellers. Now,...
Three’s a crowd. How about six? The outfield in Queens is about to get a bit more crowded. Starling Marte, who hit the IL in late June with a right knee bone bruise, will likely return some time during the Mets’ homestand, which begins Tuesday against Oakland and runs through the following Wednesday. However, the outfield looks slightly different from when Marte was last in Queens....
The Mets split the week with a 3-3 record against the Minnesota Twins and Los Angeles Angels. With their loss on Sunday afternoon, they now find themselves on the outside looking in of the National League Wild Card race, sitting 1.5 games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks for the third and final spot. Despite not staying ahead of the curve this week, the Mets played a solid brand of baseball...
The Mets had an action-packed week of baseball, playing seven games in seven days, where they finished the week with a combined 5-2 record against the Miami Marlins, New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves. It was a week that included a walk-off hit in extra innings, the albeit, short return of Kodai Senga, a grand slam, a couple of multi-home run performances and saw the Mets catapult to the top...
After splitting their four-game series with the Marlins, the New York Mets (51-48) head across town to Yankee Stadium for the final two games of the 2024 Subway Series against the New York Yankees (60-42). The Mets won the first two games against the Yankees a few weeks ago when they hosted them at Citi Field. So, regardless of the results of these next two games, the worst-case scenario for the...
After losing their series to the Astros, the New York Mets (40-41) head to D.C. to face the Washington Nationals (39-44). With the trade deadline looming, this month will make or break the Mets season. If David Stearns and other front office members are not convinced of the Mets’ ability to compete in the postseason by a certain point, they will have no choice but to pull the plug on this...
The Mets’ offense caught fire this week, racking up 67 hits and 41 runs across six road games split between Globe Life Field and Wrigley Field. The team put together another week on the right side of the scorecard with a 4-2 record, elevating their season record to 37-39. They now find themselves within one game of the third wild card spot in the National League heading into the final week...
The Mets fully embraced the risk of signing pitchers with elite potential but were marred by injuries. They did so when they inked Luis Severino this offseason. Performances like Sundays and several others this season demonstrate why the Mets took that gamble—and it appears to be paying off. Severino delivered one of his best performances as a Met in a 5-2 victory in Chicago, securing both the...
