The New York Mets (21-24) entered Sunday’s contest with the Miami Marlins hoping to avoid getting swept for the third time, in a three-game series, this season. After a demoralizing loss on Saturday, the Mets bounced back on Sunday afternoon at loanDepot Park in Miami earning a 7-3 decision. Led by two big innings, and just enough out of the bullpen, the Mets were able to get it done....
Sunday, May 19, 2024 • 1:40 PM loanDepot Park • Miami, FL LHP Sean Manaea (2-1, 3.05) vs. RHP Sixto Sánchez (0-1, 5.96) WPIX Saturday’s game certainly was a gut-wrenching loss for the New York Mets. The Mets offense has struggled for stretches of the season, so losing a game after scoring nine runs from 15 hits has to burn. Losing it because of the bullpen, which was the Mets greatest strength...
The New York Mets’ offense has not produced at the level expected of them so far this season. A lineup that includes Pete Alonso, J.D. Martinez and Francisco Lindor, among so many other quality individuals, is more than capable of performing at much higher levels collectively. Despite this, a sign of good things to come showcased itself in Saturday’s loss to the Miami Marlins, one...
Saturday, May 18, 2024 • 4:10 PM loanDepot Park • Miami, FL RHP Luis Severino (2-2, 3.00) vs. LHP Braxton Garrett (0-0, 8.44) WPIX Friday night was not a good one in Mets land. Christian Scott had his first difficult start in the majors while the offense just disappeared completely. The result was a Marlins 8-0 victory. For the Marlins, it was their fourth win in their last five games including...
The Mets are shaking up their lineup. Presumably, in an attempt to generate more offense, Carlos Mendoza has inked Francisco Lindor as the leadoff hitter on Saturday against Braxton Garrett. Brandon Nimmo is slated to hit third. Lindor has struggled so far in 2024, but has Garrett’s number. In fourteen at-bats against the lefty, Lindor is 5-for-14 with three homers and one double....
The Mets 2024 season has mimicked a rollercoaster ride featuring many ups, downs, and loops. But the offense as of late has mirrored Kingda Ka. The fall continued Friday against the Marlins at loanDepot park, where the club was shutout for the fifth time in 44 games. They mustered only five hits against lefty Jesús Luzardo, who struck out eight Mets and entered the day with a 5.97 ERA. The only...

Over the weekend, the Mets did not win a single game against the Rays. Whether it was the struggles of Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil at the plate, the inability of closer Edwin Díaz to notch a save or the control issues with the starting pitchers,...
