Updated Post (09/06/25, 15:16): The passing of Davey Johnson shocked the baseball word Saturday, leading to many organization’s and players’ releasing statements on his behalf. Below is the statement released by Steve and Alex Cohen. “We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Davey Johnson. Davey’s 595 wins remain the most in franchise history, and his legacy is...
The New York Mets’ slugging first baseman continues to produce at an elite level. Pete Alonso drove in his 100th run of the season on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners, making it the fourth time across his seven year big league career he has done so. He is on pace for around 131 RBIs by season’s end. Alonso also ranks second in the majors, trailing only Kyle Schwarber and his 101...
Things do not look good for the New York Mets. Entering the Atlanta Braves series in Queens, the Mets were in free-fall mode. The slide looked to have been stopped thanks to an offensive explosion on Tuesday. Not to mention Pete Alonso making history. However, Tuesday proved to be the exception rather than the recent rule. Wednesday saw an all-time meltdown, before the Mets continued their...
Pete Alonso wasn’t sure it had the distance. Brandon Nimmo felt like he’d seen a ball hit like this six years, four months and 11 days ago in Miami. Carlos Mendoza would soon have a scene burned into his memory and Darryl Strawberry offered congratulations. Alonso became the New York Mets all-time home run king Tuesday with a 394-foot, line drive to right in the second inning of a...
Pete Alonso did it! For the 253rd time, he launched a home run in a New York Met uniform, this one sailing over the wall and into franchise history. On a 1-0 count against Spencer Strider, Alonso hit a 1-0 pitch over the right-center field wall—his opposite field. It put the Mets up 5-1. Watch the video here. It took the Polar Bear seven seasons to claw his way to the top. He burst onto the...
It can’t get any worse for the New York Mets, can it? It sure feels like this team has now hit rock bottom. If this isn’t rock bottom, then I dread to think what the next few weeks may have in store. The Mets blew two leads on the way to being swept in Milwaukee by the Brewers over the weekend. It sure got ugly at times. As a result, New York has now lost seven straight and 11 of its...
Pete Alonso will be the New York Mets’ home run king all by himself with his next blast. For the moment, he is sharing the crown with Darryl Strawberry. Alonso blasted his 26th of the season and 252nd of his carer in Saturday night’s second inning in Milwaukee. Both Alonso and Strawberry have some things in common. They were both drafted by the Mets, debuted three years later and won...
It is officially time to hit the panic button. The New York Mets are in crisis mode after being swept by the Guardians at Citi Field. The offense looks completely lost. This team doesn’t look like a World Series contender right now. Not even close. Furthermore, the Mets have now lost four straight, eight of nine, and each of their last three series. We’re now in August, and this team...
Down five runs in the sixth inning with no signs of life on offense, the Mets (63-50) appeared in line for another lackluster loss. That is, until the offense woke up and almost provided one of the best wins of the 2025 season. But several missed chances and a defensive blunder in extra innings led to not a lackluster loss, but the kind of loss that keeps you up at night. In the series opener...
Good morning, Mets fans! Pete Alonso hit a solo home run to right-center field in Friday’s game against the Giants. With the home run, the 249th of his career, Alonso is now just three home runs away from tying Darryl Strawberry’s Mets record, and four away from breaking it. Alonso has been in a pretty deep slump lately, but before long he’ll be the new home run leader in Mets...
There was plenty of turbulence for the New York Mets to navigate against the Braves this week. New York won the final two games of the series to earn a split after dropping the first two. Those two wins were crucial given the recent rut the Mets have found themselves in. However, another serious pitching injury overshadowed what was a positive finish to an up-and-down series. It remains to be...
It was an offensive explosion in Colorado this weekend for the New York Mets. The Mets leaned on power – a lot of power – to sweep the Rockies. Outside of the series opener, the offense absolutely went off at Coors Field. In the final two games, the lineup combined for 29 hits, 21 runs and nine home runs. You can make a compelling argument that beating up on a bad team was the tonic...
