2024 Mets Report Card: Francisco Lindor, SS

It is hard to believe that Francisco Lindor has already completed his fourth season with the New York Mets. In these four seasons, he’s been the model of consistency both on and off the field. Not to mention, his leadership is something the Mets haven’t had in the locker room for a long time. In 2024, Lindor took it to another level. Francisco Lindor, SS Player Data: Age: 30...

Díaz Blows Another Save As Mets Fall To D-Backs

It’s the theme of the 2024 New York Mets season. Not being able to hold a lead and blowing a game late. It’s their book, which is costing them a shot at the playoffs. It reared its ugly head again in the Mets’ 8-5 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, dropping them to four games back of the Atlanta Braves for the third wild-card spot. For the second time in three games, their...

Huascar Brazobán Surrenders Three-Run Homer In 5-4 Loss To Angels

In the second game of a long road trip, the New York Mets let one get away from them yet again in a 5-4 loss on Saturday to the Los Angeles Angels. For David Stearns, it wasn’t a good return on one of his trade deadline investments. Huascar Brazobán fell apart in the seventh inning as he tried to hold a 4-2 Mets lead. As the Mets try to make a push for a Wild Card, games like these will...

Mets Only Muster Four Hits in 4-0 Loss to Braves

It was a rough day in Queens on Saturday for the New York Mets. The bad day started before their 4-0 loss against the Atlanta Braves. It was confirmed that Kodai Senga suffered a high calf strain on Friday, and he is out for the regular season. Just a day after Senga returned from the injured list and was dominant, New York lost him once again. Tylor Megill took the mound in game three of the...

After some rough outings, Jose Quintana had a very good day by holding a potent Padres lineup in check. Add J.D. Martinez’s opposite-field power, and...

Nimmo has reiterated that he doesn’t have any symptoms, but Mets manager Carlos Mendoza experienced a similar situation last year when Anthony...

Mets Survive D-Backs Rally To Win 10-9

It was almost a repeat of what the New York Mets have experienced far too much of over the course of this season. On a day where the Mets scored 10 runs, just the second time they’ve done so this year, and a game where they were largely in control after falling behind early, they almost let another slip away. New York ultimately won 10-9 over the Arizona Diamondbacks and saw great...

Edwin Díaz Blows Four Run Lead in 10-9 Loss

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...
