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...
After a rainout fiasco, followed by a subsequently suspended game in Washington D.C. on Saturday, the New York Mets (19-21) and Washington Nationals resumed their game early Sunday afternoon. In the first game of the doubleheader at National Park which began at 12:35 pm ET, the Mets were unable to successfully mount any of their numerous comeback attempts losing the game 3-2. New York will hope...
The Mets needed a big win, and they got one Friday night. On the 19th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the Mets pounded out 19 hits as they shuffled out of Buffalo with style. Facing the Toronto Blue Jays (24-20) in their temporary home of Buffalo, New York, the Mets (21-24) racked up 18 runs on the back of a 10-run fourth inning that saw 14 batters step up to the plate. Wilson Ramos had a...
The Mets have selected right-handed pitcher Erasmo Ramirez, according to Justin Toscano of The Record. Seeing that Ramirez is not on the 40-man roster, the Mets will have to make a corresponding 40-man move later this afternoon to make room for him. They will have to either place someone on the 45-day IL, outright someone, or release some (h/t Jacob Resnick of MMO). There are a few possibilities...
Marcus Stroman going on the injured list on Wednesday was a huge blow to the Mets rotation, and potentially their overall chances of making the playoffs in the 2020 shortened season. The rotation took a big hit when Zack Wheeler left for the Phillies and another when Noah Syndergaard had Tommy John surgery. The Mets are certainly going into the 2020 season with a less than ideal rotation and...
Opening Day 2.0 is right around the corner and like most teams the New York Mets have some last-minute roster decisions to make. The team’s bullpen is one of the biggest areas that needs to be addressed before they begin the 2020 regular season on Friday. The Mets’ Opening Day bullpen was likely going to consist of Dellin Betances, Edwin Diaz, Jeurys Familia, Seth Lugo, Justin...
Marcus Stroman went three innings during Friday’s intrasquad game, only really suffering the consequences when it came to the longball. Stroman allowed four hits and struck out the same amount, walking one over three total innings of work. His first two frames looked quite promising, as he only suffered two hits, neither of which panned into a scoring opportunity for his opponents. He saw...
Less than an hour after announcing the addition of veteran RHP Hunter Strickland to the organization’s Player Pool, the Mets say they’ve signed longtime AL infielder Gordon Beckham and added him to the Pool. Beckham had been in camp in March with the San Diego Padres, though he received just 14 at-bats without a hit before the shutdown. Originally the eighth-overall selection by the...
