It was mostly a weekend to forget for the New York Mets in the Bronx. The Mets and the Yankees met for the second Subway Series of the year, with the series opener taking place on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. The pregame ceremony made for an emotional event, with both the Mets and the Yankees doing New York proud. On the field, the Mets lost two out of three to drop this series. However, the...
The New York Mets were swinging a hot bat throughout their series win against the Miami Marlins. On the way to sweeping the Marlins on the road, the Mets scored a combined 31 runs. However, on the flip side, they also gave up a combined 23 runs in a series heavy on offense. The offense saved the day on Wednesday when bad pitching led to a huge blown lead, and nearly another late in the game. As...
Good morning, Mets fans! Bench, Carter, Alvarez. Francisco Alvarez clubbed two of New York’s five homers in a 10-6 victory over the Giants Friday. Mark Vientos, Francisco Lindor and Bo Bichette also went yard. It was the second straight game that the Mets (64-77) scored 10 runs. Alvarez will turn 25 in November and it was the seventh multi-homer game of his career. The catcher with the...
Nolan McLean and the Mets (64-77) took on the Giants (58-84) in the first game of a three-game set at Citi Field. McLean came in looking to bolster what has been a spectacular rookie year, still having an outside chance to win the NL Rookie of the Year Award. The young righty would have a gutsy six-inning performance, but offense was the key to the game as the Mets won 10-6. McLean began the...
The Milwaukee Brewers have the best record in baseball (82-51) and the fewest home runs (121). If you are wondering how, the second inning at Citi Field Wednesday provided an example. Six consecutive singles off Robert Stock (0-3) plated four runs. Brice Turang went off the script in the fourth with a three-run homer, and Milwaukee cruised to an 8-1 victory over the Mets (60-73), who looked the...
The New York Mets suffered not one but two walk-off losses against the White Sox. Both losses were nail-biters, while the Mets’ only win of the series featured a home run explosion. Still, it was a crushing way to lose a series. Although there were plenty of positives to take from Chicago, the Mets are now 59-72 on the year. On that note, let’s recap everything from the White Sox...
Offense or, rather, a lack of it, proved to be the downfall of the Mets in Atlanta. After putting up eight runs in the series opener, the Mets managed just three runs the rest of the series. Consequently, they dropped the series after losing the final two games against the Braves. It was inevitable that the Mets would come back to earth following the recent hot streak. The offense still features...
The New York Mets stayed hot on Sunday, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-1 at PNC Park. With the victory, New York takes the series from the Pirates and move to 5-1 on their road trip. Sean Manaea was superb and Bo Bichette was a perfect 5-for-5. Sean Manaea was quite strong once again. He threw seven strong innings allowing only one run on three hits. He did not walk a batter and struck out...
Well, maybe the 2026 New York Mets can still surprise us in good ways after all. In somewhat of a surprising development, the new-look Mets went into Cleveland and swept the playoff-chasing Guardians. Not only that, but the post-Trade Deadline version of this team was incredibly fun to watch. Granted, this is still a lost season given the wins and losses don’t really matter at this point....
David Byrne famously remarked, “Same As It Ever Was” in the Talking Heads hit track “Once In A Lifetime.” While they weren’t looking for their big, beautiful house, the New York Mets displayed an offensively lackluster performance that has unfortunately been a recurring theme this season and echoes Byrne’s lyric closely. They dropped the series finale against...
In game one of Wednesday’s split doubleheader with the Atlanta Braves, Sean Manaea continued his resurgence in the Mets’ 3-2 win over Atlanta. Manaea went six strong innings, and the bullpen guided the Mets to the finish line from there. Carson Benge had himself a two-hit day, culminating in the go-ahead double with the game tied in the bottom of the seventh. The Mets are now 46-62...
On a wet day in Philadelphia, the New York Mets played another game that resembled the day itself against the Philadelphia Phillies. An error-driven game, with three errors on the day, and it was marred by mistakes and more Phillies home runs, as the Mets dropped game two of this weekend series 6-1. Sean Manaea wasn’t great by any means on Saturday, but his defense didn’t help him...
