The New York Mets were swinging a hot bat throughout their series win against the Miami Marlins. On the way to sweeping the Marlins on the road, the Mets scored a combined 31 runs. However, on the flip side, they also gave up a combined 23 runs in a series heavy on offense. The offense saved the day on Wednesday when bad pitching led to a huge blown lead, and nearly another late in the game. As...
All hail Bo Bichette of the New York Mets. The third baseman conjured some late heroics on Sunday to guide the Mets to a win over the Giants in the series finale. Bichette’s clutch hit also sealed the series win. The three-game set against San Francisco featured many positives and some negatives for the Mets, who are now 65-78 on the year. With that, let’s recap everything from the...
Nick Morabito picked the perfect time to come up with his first big-league hit. With two outs in the seventh inning, he lined a 2-2 pitch down the left-field line for a three-run double that extended the Mets’ lead over Tampa Bay to 9-4. The Mets (63-77) went on to a 10-4 victory Wednesday to take a series from the American League’s best team at Tropicana Field. Morabito had started...
Oh, those home run balls. The bullpen has been excellent since the trade deadline, but the White Sox got to it Friday when Jake Rogers hit a two-out, two-run walk-off home run off of Jefry Yan for a 6-4 victory at Rate Field. The Mets (58-71) led 4-0 through five innings and Sean Manaea was rolling, but Chicago (67-61) got to him in the sixth. He coughed up back-to-back-to-back homers to Miguel...
One of the big positives of the New York Mets’ second half has been the offensive emergence of Francisco Lindor. Coming into the game on Saturday against the Washington Nationals, Lindor had garnered a .277 average with an OPS of .915. Lindor capped off a come-from-behind win in the bottom of the ninth inning with a walk-off hit as the Mets took game two of this weekend series 5-4. The...
Offense or, rather, a lack of it, proved to be the downfall of the Mets in Atlanta. After putting up eight runs in the series opener, the Mets managed just three runs the rest of the series. Consequently, they dropped the series after losing the final two games against the Braves. It was inevitable that the Mets would come back to earth following the recent hot streak. The offense still features...
Well, maybe the 2026 New York Mets can still surprise us in good ways after all. In somewhat of a surprising development, the new-look Mets went into Cleveland and swept the playoff-chasing Guardians. Not only that, but the post-Trade Deadline version of this team was incredibly fun to watch. Granted, this is still a lost season given the wins and losses don’t really matter at this point....
Bo Bichette singled in the free runner and Daniel Duarte pitched a scoreless 10th as the Mets beat the Guardians 6-5 Wednesday in a sloppy defensive game on both sides at Progressive Field. New York was down to its last out in the ninth when Jorge Polanco doubled, Marcus Semien walked and and A.J. Ewing bounced a ball up the middle that shortstop Brayan Rocchio couldn’t handle, allowing...
In game one of Wednesday’s split doubleheader with the Atlanta Braves, Sean Manaea continued his resurgence in the Mets’ 3-2 win over Atlanta. Manaea went six strong innings, and the bullpen guided the Mets to the finish line from there. Carson Benge had himself a two-hit day, culminating in the go-ahead double with the game tied in the bottom of the seventh. The Mets are now 46-62...
The New York Mets managed to salvage something from their series against the Dodgers. After dropping the first two games at Citi Field, the Mets used some clutch hitting and big hits to take the series finale and avoid the season sweep. As a result, the Mets snapped a three-game losing streak. However, they are still 18 games below .500 with a 44-62 record. With that, let’s recap...
Saturday’s pitching matchup was certainly one to circle on the MLB calendar as Nolan McLean took the mound for the New York Mets opposite Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Los Angeles Dodgers. McLean did his part against the Dodgers’ lineup and allowed only two earned runs. McLean went six innings with seven strikeouts. However, as has been the case this season, more fielding errors led to...
The New York Mets ultimately beat themselves in Milwaukee. Losing two out of three to the Brewers, the Mets only had themselves to blame for dropping the series. Sloppy defense, bad pitching, and a lack of clutch hitting ultimately doomed them in two of the three games. Fine margins are often the difference between winning and losing baseball games. And this team just isn’t doing the small...
