Pete Alonso certainly saved the New York Mets’ bacon in Miami. The slugger was the spark the offense needed against the Marlins. He came up with big hit after big hit to help his team secure a first series win of 2025. There were some other positives to emerge from the second series of the year. However, we also saw some worrying trends continue. To that end, let’s dive into another...
Wow. Wow. Just freaking wow. The 2024 New York Mets are something special, and the magic shows no signs of ending anytime soon. In what will go down as another instant classic in franchise history, the Mets produced some late-inning heroics to beat the Milwaukee Brewers in Game Three of the Wild Card Series on Thursday. As a result, New York advanced to the NLDS for the first time since 2015. It...
The Grimace era is no longer perfect for the New York Mets. After taking the first two games in Texas, the Mets dropped the series finale to the Rangers on Wednesday, snapping a seven-game winning streak. Despite the loss, and more bullpen struggles, it was still a fun few days in the Lone Star State as this team continued to roll and make up ground in the Wild Card race. With that, let’s...
Hands up if you had Grimace as the savior of the New York Mets on your 2024 bingo card. No, me neither. But, if things continue the way they are, maybe we’ll see a Grimace statue erected outside of Citi Field in the not-too-distant future. Ever since the milkshake-loving, fast-food mascot threw out the first pitch last Wednesday, the Mets are 5-0. That includes a sweep of the Padres at...
The New York Mets marked their return home in style by beating the Miami Marlins. It wasn’t always pretty, but they got the job done at Citi Field. After winning four of five games on the road in two capital cities – including a trip across the Atlantic to London – the Mets needed to take care of business against Miami. And they did. Sure, it took walk-off heroics on Thursday...
For once, almost everything went right for the New York Mets. After sweeping the Washington Nationals, the Mets swept a series for the first time since April. They have now won three consecutive games and five of their last seven. It was a series that saw big-time contributions from some unexpected names, a couple of impressive pitching performances and a number of encouraging trends develop....
The New York Mets have officially hit rock bottom. After what we just witnessed in a three-game set against the powerhouse Dodgers, it doesn’t seem possible for the Mets to plunge any deeper into the depths of despair. Although, probably wise not to rule anything out with this team. It was a house of horrors series that featured every low imaginable possible. From losing Edwin Díaz and...
It proved to be another tough weekend for the New York Mets. Sure, they snapped a five-game losing streak by beating the Giants in walk-off fashion on Sunday – their fifth walk-off win this year. It was nice to see some fight from a team in a freefall. However, one win can’t be a magic cure-all. The Mets have lost five straight series and 22 of their last 32 games. And, with the...
Can it get any worse for the 2024 New York Mets? Can it? You are probably trying to convince yourselves that it can’t, but based on what we’ve seen over the first two months of the season, this is perhaps just the beginning of the bad times. After all, it will only get worse before it gets better, as the old saying goes. The Mets are the perfect picture of ineptitude right now, and...
Talk about a rough weekend for the New York Mets in Miami. If dropping two out of three to a bad Marlins team wasn’t bad enough, Edwin Díaz’s struggles continued to escalate, Christian Scott endured his first tough outing, and more red flags emerged. Sure, the Mets did show some life by winning the series finale, but one victory isn’t enough to convince anyone that this is a...
Brandon Nimmo was the hero on Mother’s Day as the New York Mets avoided the sweep to the Atlanta Braves. After dropping the first two games of the series at Citi Field, Nimmo defied injury to walk it off for the Mets in the finale on Sunday and salvage something from the weekend. All in all, it wasn’t exactly a great series for the team in Queens. It won’t get any easier, with...
The New York Mets are enjoying an off day having taken the series against the Cardinals. Although the final game was rained out, the Mets took the opening two contests to move back to .500 with an 18-18 record. It was the team’s first series win since April 19-21. Granted, the Cardinals aren’t exactly a great baseball team right now (15-21), but you can only beat what is put in-front...
