The road woes continued for the Mets as they dropped two of three in Seattle. New York (27-35) is 12-20 away from Citi Field and hasn’t won a road series since taking two of three in Colorado about a month ago. The Mets won the finale to give them good vibes before a day off Thursday. And up next on the road trip is the slumping Padres, who have lost four in a row, eight of 10, and are in...
The Mets, a mess of their own making for much of the week, finally scraped together a win on Wednesday evening, avoiding a sweep at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds. The man taking home the win on the stat sheet? That would be 22-year-old right-hander Jonah Tong, making just his second major league appearance of the season. The Mets once again rolled with their increasingly common opener...
We’ve hit Memorial Day, and the New York Mets are struggling to stay afloat. Finishing off the road trip in Miami, the Mets were swept by the Marlins. As a result, they went 2-5 on the road against two rebuilding teams. Furthermore, the offense continues to struggle at a more than concerning clip. The same old mental mistakes keep being repeated. And this team runs the risk of running out...
Jonah Tong impressed in his MLB season debut Friday. Sean Manaea also turned in a strong outing. The two pitchers — the youngster and the vet, who throw from opposite sides of the plate — both had encouraging performances out of the bullpen in the Mets’ 2-1 loss to the Marlins on Friday at loanDepot Field. It was a peculiar pitching construction for the Mets. They went with Tobias Myers as...
The New York Mets fell to the Marlins 2-1 in one of the worst showing from their offense this season. Outside of a 449-foot home run from Juan Soto that came off the bat at 107.7 mph, the Mets’ offense was absent from this game. Until the eighth inning when A.J. Ewing got on base with a single, the Mets only had one base runner next to Soto’s homer. Unfortunately, that was quickly...
Per Will Sammon of The Athletic, the New York Mets are recalling Jonah Tong from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of today’s game against the Miami Marlins. It is unclear how many, if any, innings they are hoping for in the series opener from Tong, as Tobias Myers will be starting the game. It is also unclear if they are looking to stretch out Myers into a full-time starter. Tong is coming off his...
The Mets are calling up left-handed prospect Zach Thornton to make his debut Wednesday against the Nationals, Carlos Mendoza said Monday. Thornton, 24, struck out nine over six scoreless innings in his most recent start at Triple-A Syracuse on Friday. He was MMO’s No. 16 Mets prospect before the season, and is No. 13 on MLB Pipeline’s Mets Prospects List. Mendoza said a decision...
Jonah Tong was unable to make it out of the second inning in a tough Syracuse loss, Jonathan Santucci had a solid outing but was let down by his defense in a Binghamton defeat, Channing Austin struck out five in a Brooklyn win and Elian Peña continued his onslaught of Low-A in a St. Lucie loss. Triple-A Syracuse Mets (21-20) 3, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (22-18) 11 BOX SCORE CF Nick...
The Mets finished off their sweep of the Tigers this afternoon, and their minor league clubs will look to follow their winning ways tonight. Jonah Tong will look to continue his strong month of May for Syracuse, and Jonathan Santucci aims to build on his strong outing from last Friday. 6:35 PM · PNC Field · Syracuse (21-19) at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (21-18) Syracuse Lineup Nick Morabito, CF...
The New York Mets are bad. Not the entire team — but most of it. The pitching, aside from a weak link in the rotation, has generally been pretty good. The offense has been a glaring problem. At this point, it’s time to cut bait and move on to the next generation of Mets. The Outfield It all starts with A.J. Ewing. With Luis Robert Jr. injured and without a timetable to return, Ewing should...
With another late start out west for the Mets in Arizona against the Diamondbacks, the focus early in the night will turn to their minor league affiliates, and a slew of exciting pitching prospects will toe the rubber throughout the system. TRIPLE-A ROCHESTER (17-19) VS SYRACUSE (20-15) 6:35 PM Right-hander Jonah Tong is looking to build off a six-inning, zero-earned run showing against Lehigh...
The Syracuse Mets hovered around .500 for the first few series of the season, but it appears they may have broken through with a dominant series win last week. A.J. Ewing and Jonah Tong led the way as the most impressive players in the series. Unfortunately, the Mets’ lower three minor league affiliates did not have as much success this week as Syracuse. For more on the latest news, here...
