The New York Mets are going to be an exhilarating rollercoaster ride throughout the 2024 season. We got evidence of why throughout the series loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Mets dropped the first two games to St. Louis, an extension of an unwanted streak that saw the team lose five of its last six after previously winning four straight series. With a second consecutive series loss already...
There was a hint of what could have been for the New York Mets in Philadelphia. In the midst of being swept by the Phillies, who moved a giant step closer to clinching a postseason berth, the Mets must have thought they should have been the team piling up wins down the stretch and playing meaningful baseball into October. Instead, New York was the bottom-feeder being beat up on and the end of...
The New York Mets have done a good job recently of avoiding being swept, and that was the case again against the Twins in Minnesota. Thanks to some more DJ Stewart heroics, the Mets were able to beat the Twins on Sunday, meaning they’ve now prevented a sweep in four of their last six series played. However, despite the fact that this team showed some fight in the series finale, their two...
There’s still a lot of fight left in your New York Mets. All hope may be lost as far as the 2023 season is concerned, but this team appears to be having fun now the shackles have been lifted with the pressure firmly off. The Mets, with an infusion of young talent, have nothing left to lose and can play with a lot of freedom the rest of the way. That was certainly the case over the weekend...
For the second time in less than a week, the New York Mets avoided a series sweep thanks to some walk-off heroics. While Rafael Ortega was the hero on Sunday against the Angels, it was DJ Stewart who took center stage on Wednesday with a monster night against the Rangers. The unlikely hero continued his power surge with a pair of home runs before clinching the series finale with a hit-by-pitch...
It proved to be the Shohei Ohtani Show in Queens this weekend as the New York Mets dropped a series to the Angels. Despite having suffered a torn UCL just days before, Ohtani was almost unstoppable at the plate as the Angels took the first two games of the series at Citi Field. However, the two-way superstar was no match for a locked in David Peterson as the Mets were able to avoid the sweep on...
It was a familiar story in Atlanta as the New York Mets lost two of three to the juggernaut Braves. The Mets will finish the 2023 going 3-10 against the Braves. Certainly not ideal. Having hit somewhat of a hot streak, the Mets were looking to win their first series in Atlanta since July of 2022. They got off to a promising start by taking the opening game. However, an inconsistent offense and...
At this point, wins and losses mean very little for the New York Mets in the overall grand scheme of things. The 2023 season is lost, and nothing is going to change that. Every loss will just hammer home what a bust this year is, while every win just acts as a morale victory. However, despite that, the Mets were at least able to wash away the bad taste of a horrific series against the Braves by...
This past weekend was not a good one for the New York Mets. In fact, it got pretty damn ugly at points. Yes, the Mets were able to avoid the sweep at the hands of the Atlanta Braves, winning the series finale 7-6 on Sunday. But even that victory was far from pretty. Moral victories aside, New York was absolutely manhandled by a team that has entrenched itself as the Gold Standard in Major League...
Maybe home comforts were all the New York Mets needed. After losing six straight games on the road, the Amazins’ were able to take two out of three against the red-hot Chicago Cubs. It was an impressive effort from a Mets team that looked all but down and out. It was also the perfect way to begin a 10-game homestand with the Braves next up in town. Small victories will be the name of the...
Welcome to the new reality of the 2023 New York Mets. After selling off a slew of key pieces at the Trade Deadline, the new-look Mets gave their fans a gloomy taste of what could follow over the coming months and indeed, throughout the 2024 season. They were swept by the lowly Kansas City Royals, a team who have already piled up 75 losses this year. It was far from pretty, and more dark days are...
