It wasn’t a good weekend for the New York Mets. To simplify, it hasn’t been a good stretch for a team that is now 4-10 over their last 14 games. The latest chapter in the slump came in Tamp Bay, with the Mets getting swept by the Rays. There were some standout moments for sure, but in the end, it was a concerning three-game set that exposed all of the Mets’ ugly flaws. With...
The 2024 New York Mets are a difficult and weird team to try and figure out. There was the 0-5 start, then the hot streak, and now we’re in another strange stretch where the bullpen continues to reign supreme, but yet there are notable red flags across the offense and the defense. We saw the great, the not so great and the confusing sides of the Mets throughout the four-game set against...
What a weekend full of ups and downs for the New York Mets in Los Angeles. New York took two of three from the Dodgers to win a fifth straight series. That was the good. However, the team was hit with bad news on the injury front. Furthermore, there is legitimate concern over the backend of the rotation. And there are now question marks over how the offense and the bullpen will cope without two...
Arguably the biggest takeaway to emerge from the Pirates series is the fact that the New York Mets just played really fundamentally sound baseball. They also got the basics right and handled their business on the way to clinching their first series sweep of the year. And, just like that, the Mets have won 10 of 13 and now have four consecutive series wins. New York will head to LA riding a...
What a very, very, very special weekend at Citi Field. Not only was one of the best players in franchise history honored, but the New York Mets also clinched the series against the Kansas City Royals on Doc Gooden Day. It is worth repeating that the Royals were red hot coming into Queens. They were winners of seven straight, with the bats causing plenty of damage. However, the Mets again got...
That was more like it from the New York Mets. Considering that Atlanta is normally a house of horrors for the Mets, a split of what was originally a four-game set with the Braves would have been considered a nice bonus. Instead, the Mets got a timely explosion from their offense that enabled them to absolutely beat the tar out of their NL East rivals as they took two out of three to improve to...
It only took a week, but the New York Mets finally have their first series win of the 2024 MLB season after taking two out of three from the Cincinnati Reds over the weekend. I’d be underselling the point if I said the first week of the season has been disappointing for the Mets. And, despite improving to 3-6 over a good Reds team, there remains a lot of concern in Queens as far as the...
This is it. After a long, testing, disappointing and sometimes ugly year for the New York Mets, the final 3 Up, 3 Down of the 2023 season is here. On the final weekend of the regular season, the Mets took two out of three from the postseason-bound Phillies and will now officially close the door on one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history. Entering the year as legit World Series...
If there was a series that perhaps could best epitomize the weird ride that the 2023 season has been for the New York Mets, it would be this one against the Miami Marlins. After Mother Nature sent a deluge of rainfall on Citi Field on Tuesday, making conditions unplayable, the two teams were forced to contest a doubleheader on Wednesday. That was just the beginning, however. With the Marlins...
The New York Mets continue to have a major say in the NL wild card race after taking two out of three from the Miami Marlins. Some great starting pitching and timely offense led the way for the Mets at LoanDepot Park, helping to take down a team in the thick of the battle for a spot in the postseason. The two victories in Miami helped New York improve to 71-81 on the year, and this team could...
The New York Mets had their bats to thank after preventing a sweep to the Cincinnati Reds. After dropping the first two games of the series at Citi Field, the offense exploded for eight runs on Sunday to help back up another strong start from veteran starter José Quintana. There’s now just two weeks remaining in the regular season for the Mets, and it is important for this team to continue...
This has been a very, very good week for the New York Mets. After landing their big white whale in David Stearns, the Mets proceeded to put on an absolute show for their new president of baseball operations by taking three out of four against the Arizona Diamondbacks. By taking down a team in the thick of the wild card race in the National League, the Mets proved again they aren’t punting...
