Bad and weird things keep happening to the 2026 New York Mets, and those themes continued in their 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night. Austin Warren almost pulled a rabbit out of the hat, but still, he allowed a game-winning single to Oswald Peraza. There was a play that should’ve been challenged by the Mets early in the game that ended up costing them a run....
It was not a happy homestand for the New York Mets. Looking to fatten up against lowly opposition, the Mets instead finished with a disappointing 3-6 record. That included a sweep by the Colorado Rockies. The Mets finished the homestand by dropping two out of three to the Washington Nationals. As a result, New York is now the worst team in baseball with an ugly 10-21 record. The Mets have also...
David Peterson was ineffective and wild and Sean Manaea was arguably worse. A day after the Mets scored seven runs in the fourth inning, the Nationals pulled the same trick en route to a 14-2 victory Wednesday at Citi Field. Peterson, making his first start since April 13 after being demoted to the bullpen, gave up three hard singles to his first four batters. The Nationals led 1-0 and had...
After homering on Opening Day, Carson Benge went into a 2-for-30 slump that saw his batting average tumble to .091 on April 7. But whether it was by faith or necessity, Carlos Mendoza stuck with him, even batting him leadoff at times to try to get him going. The rookie is showing signs of meeting the potential that the Mets saw when they made him the 19th pick of the 2024 draft out of Oklahoma...
The New York Mets are an absolute train wreck. While it is still April, this team appears to be broken. And there doesn’t appear to be any tangible sign of a turnaround on the horizon, either. Instead, the Mets just keep taking backward steps. Take this weekend, for example. New York was swept at home by the Rockies. And, if you need reminding, Colorado lost 119 games in 2025. The offense...
If there is one thing the 2026 New York Mets have shown early this season, it’s that no lead feels entirely safe. That theme surfaced again Thursday night in a back-and-forth game where the Mets’ offense was able to produce enough to overcome a late collapse and still come away with a 10-8 win over the Minnesota Twins. The evening started precariously for starter Christian Scott, who struggled...
Finally! The longest Met losing streak in 24 years is over! Mark Vientos singled in the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning and the Mets beat the Minnesota Twins 3-2 Wednesday at Citi Field to end the skid at 12 games. Luke Weaver threw a scoreless ninth, striking out Byron Buxton with a runner on first to end the game. Weaver came on in the eighth and got Luke Keaschall on a foul pop up to the...
Updated Post, 4/21/26 Two and a half weeks since suffering a calf strain, Juan Soto is set to return to the Mets on Wednesday in the middle of their series against the Minnesota Twins. Soto injured his calf running the bases April 3 against the Giants. The Mets won that game and the three after that, but have lost 11 straight following. Soto’s absence has been felt across that span, as the...
The New York Mets are making headlines for all the wrong reasons. After being swept by the Cubs in Chicago, the Mets have now lost 11 consecutive games and are 7-15 on the season. That’s tied for the worst record in all of baseball. Furthermore, the Mets rank last in a number of statistical categories, including the most important one: runs. They also look incompetent in almost every...
Things appear pretty bleak for the New York Mets right now. While still early, the last couple of weeks have been ugly, and the struggles continued with the Mets being swept by the Dodgers in LA. Over the course of the three games, New York was outscored 14-3. In all, the offense has managed a measly three runs over the last 38 innings. Furthermore, mental errors continue to plague this team....
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets’ plan for Tommy Pham is to have him join Triple-A Syracuse soon to face better competition. Pham has been with Low-A St. Lucie getting reps in after not being with a team during spring training. The Mets signed Pham, who had previously been with the team in 2023, to a minor league deal on Opening Day. He could soon see himself part of the equation on the...
Good morning, Mets fans! McLean deserved better. Nolan McLean was excellent, but the bullpen was not. McLean struck out eight over 6 1/3 innings and exited with a 1-0 lead, but Luke Weaver couldn’t hold it and Luis García didn’t have it. The Mets (7-6) dropped the rubber game to Arizona, 7-1. Read Michael Simon’s a full recap here. Jeff McNeil, the 2022 batting champ, the...
