On a day when the New York Mets honored two franchise greats, Bobby Valentine and Lee Mazzilli, the team defeated the Miami Marlins 6-1 on Saturday afternoon, led by another good Christian Scott performance. For Scott, it was the first win of his major league career, and the Mets’ offense gave him some backup with six runs. The bullpen had another strong day and got the remaining 12 outs...
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...
Flabbergasted. Probably the emotion all Mets’ players, coaches, and fans felt when the news of Clay Holmes’ injury broke after Friday’s loss to the Yankees. It was a brutal blow to Holmes and the Mets’ roster as a whole. The righty had blossomed in his second full season as a starter and holds a 2.39 ERA in 52 2/3 innings after his start Friday, plus he joins a long IL...
Good morning, Mets fans! What a painful night. The Mets (18-26) lost the Subway Series opener at Citi Field, but the bigger blow came after the game when it was revealed that Clay Holmes broke his right fibula on a 111 mph comebacker hit by Spencer Jones in the fourth inning. Carlos Mendoza said the dependable Holmes, who will be added to the injured list with a 2.39 ERA, will “be down for...
The Mets’ season from hell continues as manager Carlos Mendoza stated that Clay Holmes will go on the injured list with a fractured fibula. He got hit by a comebacker off the bat of Spencer Jones in the fourth inning of Friday night’s game against the New York Yankees, finished the inning, and then came out to start the fifth before leaving after two batters. It is unclear just how...
It’s official – The New York Mets have the worst record in baseball once again. Despite finishing a long road trip 5-4, the Mets return home with a 15-25 record on the year. After showing some progress against Anaheim and Colorado, New York dropped two out of three to the Diamondbacks. At this point, it is fair to wonder if we’re just destined for a long, tough season full of...
The New York Mets are bad. Not the entire team — but most of it. The pitching, aside from a weak link in the rotation, has generally been pretty good. The offense has been a glaring problem. At this point, it’s time to cut bait and move on to the next generation of Mets. The Outfield It all starts with A.J. Ewing. With Luis Robert Jr. injured and without a timetable to return, Ewing should...
Clay Holmes likely would not have been the guy many would have thought would be leading the National League in ERA on May 10. Of Mets pitchers, the first guess would have been Freddy Peralta (3.12 ERA) and then maybe Nolan McLean (2.78), but after his eighth consecutive start of allowing two earned runs or fewer Holmes’ ERA leads the NL at 1.86. He’s been so good that giving up two...
Another loss, and another anemic outing from the New York Mets offense as they dropped the second game of this three-game series to the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-1. Clay Holmes and the bullpen kept the Mets in it. However, the offense only notched three hits on the day and failed to produce against Arizona starter Merrill Kelly. Thirteen consecutive Mets batters were retired to close out the game....

At last, the New York Mets (14-23) are starting to turn things in the right direction. The situation is far from good, but at least they are beginning to win more regularly. Back-to-back series victories over the Los Angeles Angels and Colorado Rockies has given the Mets a 4-2 start to their road trip. They will look to continue that against the Arizona Diamondbacks (17-19), who have lost seven...
For just the second time this season, and the first since early April, the New York Mets won a series on the road. The Mets took two out of three from the Angels to get the road trip off to a promising start. As a result, New York improved to 12-22 on the year. Of course, it is too early to tell if this is the start of a turnaround. The Mets hardly made it easy in Anaheim, committing a series of...
