Good morning, Mets fans. The Mets suffered a crushing loss on Wednesday night as a bang-bang play at the plate in the bottom of the ninth was the final blow for the Amazins. Pete Alonso’s hand bounced up before the plate, allowing the tag to be placed before he scored and subsequently ending the game. However, an even bigger story is how the Mets’ offense has continued to struggle...
DJ Stewart had a chance on Monday night to tie the game. The tying runs were on base, and Stewart came to the plate as the go-ahead run. He struck out, leaving two men stranded, and eventually, the Mets fell to the Cubs. Tuesday night, however, presented Stewart with another opportunity. Tied with the Cubs at 1-1 in the bottom of the sixth, Stewart came to the plate with J.D. Martinez and Tyrone...

Williams, the organization’s No. 1 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, has had an underwhelming start to the season. In 11 games and 39 at-bats, he’s only hitting .179/.360/.308 with two RBIs. Williams was...

What a weekend full of ups and downs for the New York Mets in Los Angeles. New York took two of three from the Dodgers to win a fifth straight series. That was the good. However, the team was hit with bad news on the injury front. Furthermore, there is legitimate concern over the backend of the rotation. And there are now question marks over how the offense and the bullpen will cope without two...
DJ Stewart began the season with 16 hitless at bats, including six strikeouts. Getting off to a good start was crucial for him, especially with J.D. Martinez waiting in the wings to be team’s primary designated hitter. Stewart was looking for a hit in a big spot to jumpstart his season, and that hit would eventually come in a 8-7 road win over the Atlanta Braves on April 8. The absence of...

That was more like it from the New York Mets. Considering that Atlanta is normally a house of horrors for the Mets, a split of what was originally a four-game set with the Braves would have been considered a nice bonus. Instead, the Mets got a timely explosion from their offense that enabled them to absolutely beat the tar out of their NL East rivals as they took two out of three to improve to...
