It wouldn’t be a weekend series without experiencing a frustrating New York Mets loss. Entering the three-game series against the Braves on a two-game losing streak, the Mets won the first two games to win the series and get back to winning ways. However, any positive momentum was halted on Sunday thanks to a sloppy loss to Atlanta in the finale. As a result, we were reminded of all of...
The New York Mets are officially in free fall. Talk about a tough stretch. The Mets are now riding a season-high six game losing streak after being swept by the Braves in Atlanta. Very few things went right in this series. The starting rotation continues to show signs of regression. The offense was a no-show. The inability to cash in with runners on remains a huge problem. Oh, and injuries...

The National League East features a solid batch of second basemen. They collectively hold several accolades, including seven All-Star selections, three league batting titles (two of which were Major League batting titles), and five Silver Slugger awards. Jeff McNeil, second baseman for the New York Mets, is one of those players who has accomplished plenty in his six-year career. 2023 was not...
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...
Good morning, Mets fans. Francisco Lindor was scratched from last night’s game against the Braves due to right side soreness.

Lindor remarkably played in every game this year before missing yesterday’s game, a year...
The Mets hosted the Braves for the first of a four-game set on Friday night. It is the first series between the two teams since the Mets were swept in nightmarish fashion in Atlanta at the beginning of June. In a matchup between Tylor Megill and Charlie Morton, the Braves overmatched the Mets en route to a 7-0 victory. Prior to the game, Francisco Lindor was a late scratch from the lineup due to...
In their first Friday home game of the year, the Mets (15-12) donned their black jerseys for the first time in 2023 as they began a four-game set with the Braves (18-9) on Friday night in the rain. David Peterson took the mound for New York looking to bounce back from two straight rough starts, while Max Fried, who came into the game having given up just one earned run in 15 innings, was on the...
The start of the 2023 MLB Season is just days away. We are continuing our NL East preview here at Metsmerized with the Atlanta Braves, the reigning division champions. Atlanta spent most of last season trailing the New York Mets in the division, but a sensational run from June through September helped the Braves erase a 10.5-game lead to win the NL East pennant. They failed to continue that...
