If there was a perfect way to describe how the 2024 season has started for the New York Mets, look no further than Saturday’s gut-wrenching loss. The team lead 7-2, then 9-5, en route to blowing the lead in the ninth inning and falling 10-9 in the 10th inning. At the center of it was once again closer Edwin Díaz. In his first season back after missing all of last year due to a complete...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets lost a heartbreaker in Miami on Saturday, dropping Game 2 to the Marlins 10-9 in 10 innings. Edwin Díaz continued to struggle in his outing Saturday, giving up a four-run lead in the ninth to take the game to extra innings, in which the Marlins went on to walk it off in the 10th. The Mets (20-25) and Marlins (15-32) close out their series on Sunday at 1:40 p.m....
When it rains, it pours. When it’s rock bottom, it’s really rock bottom. Whatever happened on Saturday, was exactly it for the New York Mets. Even after a drastic lineup change and the offense exploded for nine runs, they still couldn’t find a way to win. The reason: the pitching and their closer going through one of his worst stretches of his career and he himself hitting rock...
The New York Mets (20-23) were in danger of being swept in a four-game series by the Philadelphia Phillies (31-15) and going 1-6 in a seven-game stretch against the Phillies and Atlanta Braves, their hated rivals . However, it was a J.D. Martinez RBI single and a wild pitch in the top of the 11th inning that helped New York prevail with a 6-5 win. With the score tied at four, Martinez delivered...
Monday night seemed like a walk in the park for the Mets. The game was going their way for the majority of the night, and the club was three outs away from notching a win to improve to 20-20 and gain ground against a National League East rival for a second night in a row. The offense scored enough to give the Mets a cushion (though there was plenty more cushion that could have been built). Sean...
Good morning, Mets fans! Kodai Senga spoke to reporters on Monday about his rehab process, saying he wants to make sure his mechanics are right before taking the next step. Senga said he believes his injury at least partially was caused by an issue with his mechanics. Senga offered some optimism regarding his progress, but he didn’t give an exact timeline. He’s eligible to come off...
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...
