It wasn’t a good weekend for the New York Mets. To simplify, it hasn’t been a good stretch for a team that is now 4-10 over their last 14 games. The latest chapter in the slump came in Tamp Bay, with the Mets getting swept by the Rays. There were some standout moments for sure, but in the end, it was a concerning three-game set that exposed all of the Mets’ ugly flaws. With...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets left 13 men on base, Randy Arozarena dealt Edwin Díaz his first blown save since 2022, and Jonny DeLuca lined a walk-off two-run triple against Jake Diekman in the 10th inning as the Rays swept the Mets, taking the series finale 7-6. Tampa Bay also ran wild on the basepaths, stealing seven bases, four of which were swiped by Jose Caballero. The Mets begin a...
Following losses in the initial two games of the series, the New York Mets (16-18) aimed to clinch victory in the Sunday afternoon finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. While the offense managed to score when necessary, it fell short as the bullpen faltered in the late stages, resulting in a 7-6 defeat and a sweep by the Tampa Bay Rays. Right from the start, Francisco Lindor gave the Mets an early...
The 2024 New York Mets are a difficult and weird team to try and figure out. There was the 0-5 start, then the hot streak, and now we’re in another strange stretch where the bullpen continues to reign supreme, but yet there are notable red flags across the offense and the defense. We saw the great, the not so great and the confusing sides of the Mets throughout the four-game set against...
It is a rare day when the New York Mets (16-15) do not have Francisco Lindor in the starting lineup. He was out of the lineup Thursday after leaving Wednesday’s game early with an illness. But the shortstop still found a way to make an impact in Thursday’s game. Not only did Lindor have a two-run double in the sixth to help erase an early four-run deficit, but he ended up delivering a...
You can’t clinch anything in April, but you most certainly lose everything. It looked like that was starting to happen when the New York Mets started the season 0-5. However, as the calendar flips to May 1, the Mets enter play Wednesday night with an over .500 record. While many players have contributed to the turnaround, the main catalyst for the bounce back has to be the relievers. Out of the...
Resilient. That’s been the word to describe the 2024 New York Mets this early in the season. On Saturday afternoon against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the road, the Mets continued their resiliency in a thrilling 6-4 win at Dodger Stadium. Despite the pitching walking ten Dodgers batters, the Mets managed to hold their ground. In the sixth inning, with the score tied at 4-4, Starling Marte...
Edwin Díaz on Monday night—pitching on back-to-back days—notched his 100th career save with the Mets. He’s now just one save shy of tying Billy Wagner for fifth all-time with the Mets, and he’s certainly within reason to pass Jeurys Familia’s 124 saves for third by the end of this season. He’s come a long way from his introductory 2019 season, which saw the reliever pitch...
Good morning, Mets fans! In their series opener against the Pirates, the Mets erased a 3-0 deficit with a three-run sixth inning, capped by a pinch-hit RBI double by DJ Stewart. In the eighth inning, Harrison Bader drilled a two-run double off Aroldis Chapman, and Edwin Díaz tossed a scoreless ninth inning to secure a 6-3 victory, bringing the Mets to the .500 mark for the first time this...
On the day the New York Mets’ paid tribute to Dwight Gooden, pitching dominated the scene at Citi Field on Sunday afternoon, with Jose Buttó and Cole Ragans engaged in a fierce duel. When it was all said and done, the Mets (7-8) secured their third series victory of the season by defeating the Kansas City Royals (10-6), 2-1. The Mets have won seven out of their last ten games after...
Sunday, April 14, 2024 • 1:10 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY LHP Cole Ragans (0-1, 2.60) vs. RHP Jose Buttó (0-0, 1.50) SNY The New York Mets offense looks to keep rolling for one more game against the Kansas City Royals as the Mets seek to clinch a series win. Yesterday, the Mets were able to score seven runs, fueled by Pete Alonso’s two home run and three-hit day, but everything else fell apart...
It only took a week, but the New York Mets finally have their first series win of the 2024 MLB season after taking two out of three from the Cincinnati Reds over the weekend. I’d be underselling the point if I said the first week of the season has been disappointing for the Mets. And, despite improving to 3-6 over a good Reds team, there remains a lot of concern in Queens as far as the...
