Good Morning! Today the Mets will look for the series win against the Nationals. Steven Matz will pitch for the Mets this afternoon. The Mets were one-hit yesterday but on the bright side, Matz’s bat is back in the lineup. Latest Mets News John Ricco thinks the Mets made the right move by holding onto their pitchers at the deadline. Mickey Callaway has high hopes for top prospect, Justin...

Syndergaard will throw one inning and Matt Harvey will take over from there. This is Syndergaard’s first MLB appearance since Last night, the Mets pulled off a 6-1 comeback win against the Nats. Travis...
On a damp evening at Citi Field, Zack Wheeler’s recent stretch of dominance came to an end as his lack of command coupled with a poor defensive effort resulted in a 10-3 blowout loss to the Washington Nationals on Saturday evening. Bryce Harper sent a fly ball into the Pepsi porch that just barely tucked inside the right-field foul pole after Ian Desmond led off with a walk to put the...
According to a report by Adam Rubin on ESPN New York, Terry Collins handled the eighth inning initially with Vic Black on Monday because the staff had advised Collins to stay away from Jeurys Familia. “I talked to the pitching guys today and they said, ‘Listen, if you can give him a night, give him a night, because he can use it,'” Collins said. “If you think about it, he didn’t...
The Mets (35-41) beat the Marlins (37-38) by a score of 11-5 on Sunday afternoon in Miami. Jon Niese got the start for the Mets and was much better than his line in the box score looks, although his final stats were still pretty good. Jon Niese gave up 3 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings, striking out 4 and throwing 87 pitches. The Mets struck first in the top of the 2nd, after a single...
Curtis Granderson has been the Mets’ hottest hitter in the month of June, batting .361 in 44 plate appearances. Just when you think he is going to turn his season around, he comes up lame with a calf injury and is held out from Thursday’s game. He did pinch hit for Gonzalez Germen in the 11th inning, but was intentionally walked and then Zack Wheeler replaced him as a pinch runner....
Adam Rubin of ESPN NY reports that Scott Rice, was demoted to Vegas after Tuesday’s 6-2 win against the Milwaukee Brewers, leaving Josh Edgin and Dana Eveland as the only left-handers in the bullpen. Rubin adds that Gonzalez Germen will be activated from the disabled list, where he had been since May 6 with a virus and abscess. When Rice was given word on his demotion, Marc Carig of...

Gonzalez Germen will be placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 6th, with a virus. deGrom, 25, was having a sparkling year in Vegas at the time of the call-up. In seven starts, deGrom went 4-0 with a 2.58 earned run average over a span of 38.1 innings. He will...
Good morning, Mets fans! Another nice win last night. A stress-free win, for once. The only blemish on our victory was Jenrry Mejia having to leave early with a torn blister, but considering Mejia’s luck with injuries, I’ll settle for a torn blister any day of the week with that guy. Anyway, my post this morning is going to be about the awesomeness of Gonzalez Germen. Now, let me...
Good morning, Mets fans! I was originally going to write about how it was nice to see our bullpen finally do a decent job last night, despite the loss. Then, I started digging through the box scores from the past few games and I realized something… The Mets’ bullpen has not given up a run in the past 4 games. That’s right, we’re 8 games into a season in which many...
With the unfortunate news that Bobby Parnell has a torn MCL in his right elbow and could be out for a significant amount of time, I wanted to revisit a post I wrote this Winter where I profiled my Top 5 Mets Relief Prospects. These are some names that could help the Mets in the very near future. For the past few seasons, the Mets bullpen has been a major weakness. They have consistently ranked...
Anthony Dicomo of MLB.com writes that it was not long after Jose Valverde‘s arrival at Mets camp on Sunday that a small crowd of new teammates gathered around the 35-year-old veteran, pulling up chairs. If Bobby Parnell is unable to be ready for the start of the season, Valverde or Kyle Farnsworth can temporarily fill the role, but no matter what the veteran Valverde brings to the Mets, he will...
