So many things need fixing for the 9-19 Mets, but for the sake of time (and my sanity) I will focus on three problems. They are swinging at bad pitches, blowing leads and failing in the clutch. Chase Rate Percentage With the Mets down 3-1 in the seventh inning on Sunday against the Rockies, Brett Baty waved at a 1-1 pitch well out of the strike zone. Two pitches later he struck out looking. Per...
Good morning, Mets fans! Scoring runs shouldn’t be this hard. After the Mets lost the first game of the doubleheader Sunday, Carlos Mendoza was asked if the team’s problems were fixable. “Yes,” he told reporters. “We’ve got to do something. That’s not a good showing. We’ve got to fix it.” The fix may come, but it didn’t happen in Game...
Friday, April 28, 2026 • 1:10 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY LHP Jose Quintana (0-2, 6.23) vs. RHP Nolan McLean (0-0, -.–) Chase Dollander (0-0, -.–) vs. RHP Kodai Senga (0-3, 8.83) SNY The New York Mets may have a season-defining doubleheader this afternoon at Citi Field. If the Mets sweep the doubleheader, they’ll win their second consecutive series and will continue to chip away at...
Rejoice! The New York Mets finally won a game and a series! After the losing streak hit 12 consecutive games, the Mets finally put an end to the downslide by taking two out of three from the Minnesota Twins. It wasn’t always pretty or straightforward, and the series win did come with a cost with Francisco Lindor picking up a potentially serious injury. However, it was important that the...
Brett Baty looked like he broke out in 2025. He took the ball deeper to combat his pitch recognition issues and utilized his plus bat speed to drive the ball. He traded contact rates for power and no longer focused on pulling the ball in the air, letting his plus exit velocities make up for going the other way. After a small swing adjustment in mid-April to prevent dropping his barrel, Baty...
It proved to be an unwelcome return home for the New York Mets. Opening up the homestand with three games against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Mets dropped two out of three to lose the series and fall to 7-6 on the year. While there were some standout moments, a hit-and-miss offense, poor defense, and some bad pitching performances ultimately doomed the Mets. Let’s recap everything in the...
David Peterson was roughed up for the second straight start and the Mets lost 7-2 to the Diamondbacks at Citi Field Wednesday, ending a four-game winning streak. Arizona (6-6) scored once in the first inning and a regrettable walk loaded the bases to set the stage for a four-run rally in the second. Peterson issued a five-pitch free pass to No. 9 hitter Jorge Barrosa, who entered the game with a...
Juan Soto’s early-season injury has raised an important question: Which position players are in line for promotions when the Mets call on their minor league depth in 2o26? It’s not a fun topic, but it’s a necessary one. For pitching depth, it’s pretty clear. There are a handful of starters on call in Syracuse, and the same goes for the relievers. For the hitting depth,...
Good morning, Mets fans! Let’s not leave the bats in San Francisco. Luis Torrens’ go-ahead, two-run double keyed a four-run eighth inning on Sunday and the Mets (6-4) won 5-2 to take three out of four from the Giants. He was pinch-hitting for Jared Young, who went 3-for-3 and threw out a runner at second on a ball hit off the left-field wall. Young, who was making his second career...
Sunday, March 29, 2026 • 1:40 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY RHP Carmen Mlodzinski (0-0, -.–) vs. RHP Nolan McLean (0-0, -.–) SNY The New York Mets go for the sweep this afternoon in Queens. On Thursday, the Mets took the first game of the season in pesky fashion, working nine walks, scoring 11 runs and making the Pirates toss over 190 pitches. Saturday, neither team could buy a hit...
With just two weeks left until his first start at Citi Field as a member of the New York Mets, Freddy Peralta took the hill on Saturday in his latest spring training outing against the Houston Astros. While Peralta had another good showing against Houston, the Mets offense left nine runners on base and went 4-for-13 with RISP in an 8-2 loss to the Astros. Saul Garcia and Jordan Geber allowed a...
Francisco Alvarez hit one 439 feet off the batter’s eye. Jorge Polanco showed off his power from the right side of the plate. Brett Baty added two hits. The Mets offense Tuesday produced six runs on 14 hits in a victory over the Cardinals at Clover Park. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come when the games count. Alvarez hit 25 home runs in 2023, injuries limited him to 100 games the...
