Let’s just say the New York Mets rose to the challenge this weekend. Facing the best team in baseball, the Mets took two out of three from the first-place Braves. It was a weekend full of mostly positives. It was just a shame the homestand started so poorly, given what this team went on to accomplish against Atlanta. However, we saw plenty of signs of hope over the weekend as we enter the...
Good morning, Mets fans! Now would be a good time for the Mets to get hot. A.J. Ewing connected for three hits, including his second homer, to raise his slash line to .267/.339/.381 as the last-place Mets took two of three from the first-place Braves with an 8-1 victory Sunday in front of 40,106 at Citi Field. Carson Benge, Bo Bichette, Juan Soto and Brett Baty each had two hits and Freddy...
The day after New York City celebrated a historic championship in the basketball world, the New York Mets decided to join in on the fun by defeating the Atlanta Braves 8-1. This victory at Citi Field allowed the Mets to win the weekend series, taking two out of three games from the best team in baseball. The Mets finished the weekend with a record of 32-39, bringing them a bit closer to a wild...
Is hope in the air for the New York Mets now? There were a lot of positives on display as the Mets took two out of three from the Padres. And, in winning the series in San Diego, New York finished their final West Coast road trip with a 3-3 record. The Mets have also won seven of their last 10 games. Furthermore, they are 19-15 since May 1. That’s obviously a big improvement and a sign...
Carson Benge played a crucial role in the New York Mets’ 7-3 victory over the Padres in San Diego on Sunday, helping the team take the series and finish their road trip splitting the six games. Although they remain at the bottom of the National League East, this win improves the Mets’ record to 29-36, marking another step in their journey towards .500. With this victory, the Mets have won...
The Mets found a way to beat the Marlins. MJ Melendez stunned Miami with a two-run, walk-off homer in the 10th inning on an 0-2 pitch from Pete Fairbanks to give the Mets a 9-7 victory at Citi Field. Austin Warren (1-1) stranded the free runner with a perfect 10th to earn the win. Last weekend, the Mets couldn’t score (two runs in three games) as they were swept by the Marlins. On Friday,...
We’ve hit Memorial Day, and the New York Mets are struggling to stay afloat. Finishing off the road trip in Miami, the Mets were swept by the Marlins. As a result, they went 2-5 on the road against two rebuilding teams. Furthermore, the offense continues to struggle at a more than concerning clip. The same old mental mistakes keep being repeated. And this team runs the risk of running out...
One Tyrone Taylor swing turned what looked like another ho-hum loss in what has so far been a forgettable season into a reason for hope. Keep in mind, the wild-card race is forgiving. The Mets lost seven games in a row three times last year and were alive to fight for a playoff spot on the season’s final day. So despite all the horrors that the Mets have endured thus far, the injuries, the...
Good morning, Mets fans! Best win of the year! RIP to the streak of losing when trailing after eight innings. It died Sunday at 91 games. Tyrone Taylor hit a game-tying, three-run homer just inside the left-field foul pole with the Mets down to their last out against Yankee closer David Bednar. The Mets walked it off in the 10th when Carson Benge bounced a ball on the infield and Marcus Semien...
The New York Mets swept the Detroit Tigers and have now won three of their last four series. They no longer have the worst record in baseball as well, with the Los Angeles Angels (16-28), Houston Astros (17-28), Colorado Rockies (17-27) and San Francisco Giants (18-26) all trailing the Mets (18-25) now. The young players are coming alive and are helping to pick up this struggling and...
On Thursday, the Mets finished off a dominant sweep of the Detroit Tigers with a 9-4 win. The offense is finally finding its rhythm. Over the three-game set, the Mets put up a total of 22 runs. While the early part of the season had its ups and downs (or just downs, I should say), the resilience of this lineup is starting to flip the narrative. The game did not start the way Nolan McLean or the...
After a defensive mishap in the first inning, Carson Benge walked off the Tigers in the 10th. And for an encore to a stellar debut, A.J. Ewing scored the winning run. The Mets came from two runs down for the second straight night to beat Detroit, earning a 3-2 victory Wednesday at Citi Field. The Mets (17-25) have quietly won seven of 11. Bo Bichette tied the game with a two-out, bloop single to...
