The New York Mets (20-23) were in danger of being swept in a four-game series by the Philadelphia Phillies (31-15) and going 1-6 in a seven-game stretch against the Phillies and Atlanta Braves, their hated rivals . However, it was a J.D. Martinez RBI single and a wild pitch in the top of the 11th inning that helped New York prevail with a 6-5 win. With the score tied at four, Martinez delivered...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets have hit another lull as of late and are falling behind in the division at a rapid pace as they continue to fall to division foes. Despite Brandon Nimmo heroics salvaging the final game of a three-game set against the Braves, the Amazins have found themselves losers of five of their last six to their division rivals. After the Mets were shut out and no-hit for...
Brandon Nimmo was the hero on Mother’s Day as the New York Mets avoided the sweep to the Atlanta Braves. After dropping the first two games of the series at Citi Field, Nimmo defied injury to walk it off for the Mets in the finale on Sunday and salvage something from the weekend. All in all, it wasn’t exactly a great series for the team in Queens. It won’t get any easier, with...
The Mets came home early to face the Braves after taking two games from the Cardinals in St. Louis. Jose Quintana took the bump on Friday, looking to win a fourth straight game against the Braves and rebound after a miserable start against the Rays. Unfortunately for the lefty, the start wasn’t much better. He made it five innings at home, but allowed four earned runs to Atlanta, all via...
Good morning, Mets fans! During Friday’s game against the Braves, Adrian Houser made an appearance out of the bullpen for the first time this season. It was the first time Houser appeared in a game since being removed from the rotation after a string of brutal starts. Houser allowed a hit and two walks over two innings during his appearance, but he didn’t allow a run. Houser has much...
A sizable track record of avoiding the long ball during a long career ended in short order. Jose Quintana had started his career going 1,837 consecutive innings without allowing three home runs in one frame, per the SNY broadcast. That streak ended Friday as Ronald Acuña Jr., Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson took him deep in the third inning and the Atlanta Braves (23-12) beat the Mets, 4-1, at Citi...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Pittsburgh Pirates officially called up the firsst overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft, Paul Skenes, on Wednesday. The national champion pitcher at LSU has had a meteoric rise through the ranks, from transferring from Air Force to LSU over two years ago to getting the call to the big leagues. Skenes dominated his last year in college and continued that in minor...
Due to inclement weather in the St. Louis area, Wednesday’s game, and series finale, between the New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals has been postponed. The teams announced that the game will be made up on August 5 at 4:15 pm CT. The Mets were scheduled to have an off day between their respective series against the Los Angeles Angels and Colorado Rockies, but will now go to St. Louis for...
Coming off a series sweep at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays, the New York Mets (16-18) are set for three games against the St. Louis Cardinals (15-19). 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,...
Entering the season, arguably the biggest question mark surrounding the New York Mets was their starting rotation. After beginning the season strong, the unit has regressed mightily to where several feared it may project to be prior to the season. Specifically, prior to Saturday’s game, the unit ranks 21st in staff ERA (4.34) and 20th in staff WAR (1.8). Earlier on in the season, these...
Good morning, Mets fans! Late Friday night, the Padres and Marlins completed the first big trade of the year, as Miami sent Luis Arráez to San Diego for reliever Woo-Suk Go and prospects Dillon Head, Jakob Marsee, and Nathan Martorella. Jeff Passan of ESPN was first on the trade, while Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic had the return. Arráez is a two-time batting champion and two-time All-Star,...
Fall down seven times, stand up eight. That’s a Japanese proverb. The Mets got to Aaron Civale for seven runs. Jose Quintana gave up eight. That’s not a baseball proverb (or a winning formula.) Quintana had his worst outing of the season – giving up eight earned runs on 10 hits in 2 2/3 innings – as the Mets dropped the opener of their six-game road trip to Tampa Bay 10-8...
