Good morning, Mets fans! On Wednesday, the Mets finished off their seven-game homestand with a bang. After a Brett Baty two-run homer off of Zack Wheeler, offense was hard to come by as it was knotted at 2-2 going into the eighth. The Mets’ defense continued to keep them in the game, as Juan Soto gunned out Nick Castellanos at the plate in the eighth inning, eventually sending the game...
By tomorrow morning some of my faithful friends who weren’t as invested in the Mets will try to soften the blow with sentimental sound-bites reminiscent of hollow remarks I used to hear after crappy sets as a stand-up comic. The disappointing part isn’t just that they lost, but how. Bases loaded – twice, 17 runners hung out to dry, and men standing on bags in all but one inning. Would the...
After suffering a crushing 10-2 loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Mets are now on the brink of elimination. Jose Quintana, simply put, did not have his best stuff, surrendering five runs over 3 1/3 innings. Mookie Betts and Tommy Edman combined for seven RBIs, which included a two-run homer from the former in the sixth inning to extend Los Angeles’ lead to five. The...
After a 7-3 bounce-back win Monday night, the New York Mets have tied the series heading into three straight home games at Citi Field against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Sean Manaea continued his dominance against a potent Dodger lineup that scored nine runs in game one of the National League Championship Series. He only gave up two earned runs in five innings of work, striking out the odds on the...
Good morning, Mets fans! Kodai Senga has been continuing to rehab his calf injury and over the past couple of weeks more reports have been leaning towards a possible return this season. Senga himself told reporters that he hopes to get in a Triple-A game this weekend and potentially return next week, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Senga said he’s been “working his tail off” and...
Good morning, Mets fans! What a win! The Mets looked lifeless for the first eight innings of the rubber game against the Blue Jays on Wednesday afternoon, going into the ninth with no hits. However, Bowden Francis, who was looking to complete his no-hit bid, was rudely greeted by the potential NL MVP Francisco Lindor. Lindor ripped a fastball into the right field bleachers to tie the game at one...
Good morning, Mets fans! J.D. Martinez was plunked in the elbow by a pitch in the second inning of Tuesday’s 9-4 loss to the Athletics. He stayed in to run the bases, but was pinch-hit for his next at-bat, raising concern for the Mets’ designated hitter. Luckily for the Mets, Martinez seems to be fine. The X-rays on his elbow came back negative, showing no damage at all to his arm....
Good morning, Mets fans! While the Mets’ bullpen has hit its stride post All-Star break, one of the lone bright spots in the Mets’ ‘pen during the early part of the season could make his return very soon. Reed Garrett, who posted a 1.04 ERA in his first 26 innings of his 2024 season, was placed on the 15-day IL with right elbow inflammation on July 10. Garrett had a steep...
No ball club wanted to face St Louis in a one-off Wild Card game. Winners of 17 straight down the stretch, with a veteran 40-year-old pitcher and his killer curveball, they seemed destined to be this postseason’s Cinderella story. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, the Boys in Blue who hail from a show biz city hatched their own Hollywood ending that was literally Taylor-made. Dodger outfielder...
