Things could have gone better to start the homestand for the New York Mets. After finishing the road trip strong, the Mets dropped the first two games to St. Louis at Citi Field. Granted, the bats did wake up to avoid a series sweep. However, all in all, the three-game series against the Cardinals was another reminder that the Mets have a lot of work to do just to get to .500. On that gloomy...
Juan Soto entered Thursday in perhaps the worst stretch of his season, with just three hits in his previous 32 at-bats. The Mets needed production from the middle of their lineup, and Soto delivered with a double and the go-ahead home run in a 5-4 win over the Cardinals. Thursday’s performance stood out because it came after a stretch in which Soto had not looked like himself at the plate. The...
Is hope in the air for the New York Mets now? There were a lot of positives on display as the Mets took two out of three from the Padres. And, in winning the series in San Diego, New York finished their final West Coast road trip with a 3-3 record. The Mets have also won seven of their last 10 games. Furthermore, they are 19-15 since May 1. That’s obviously a big improvement and a sign...
In game one of the New York Mets’ latest trip out west, their offense went back to sleep again as they were held to just two hits (both solo home runs) by Seattle Mariners pitching in a 3-2 loss at T-Mobile Park. A walk-off base hit by Cole Young off A.J. Minter in the bottom of the tenth inning to sink the Mets. That came after the Mets wasted their ghost runner chance. The positive was...
For once, it was a very good weekend in New York Mets land. The Mets dominantly swept the Marlins at Citi Field. As a result, they have now won four straight while finishing the homestand 4-2. There is still a long way to go for this team to prove they have what it takes to mount a true turnaround. Still, it felt good to see this ballclub take care of business in a big way for once. On that...
Good morning, Mets fans! Guess who has the longest winning streak in the National League. Juan Soto hit a grand slam, Carson Benge and Marcus Semien also homered and the Mets (26-33) won their fourth in a row as they completed a sweep of the Marlins to jump ahead of them in the standings and move out of the division cellar. The Mets returned the favor after being swept in Miami the previous...
Just a week after the New York Mets were swept by the Miami Marlins in South Florida, where a game-ending grand slam punctuated things, the Mets returned the favor in a big way. They blew out the Marlins 10-1 at Citi Field on Sunday, wrapping up their homestand in style with a record of 4-2. The result also culminated a weekend series sweep and extended their winning streak to four games, the...
On a day when the New York Mets honored two franchise greats, Bobby Valentine and Lee Mazzilli, the team defeated the Miami Marlins 6-1 on Saturday afternoon, led by another good Christian Scott performance. For Scott, it was the first win of his major league career, and the Mets’ offense gave him some backup with six runs. The bullpen had another strong day and got the remaining 12 outs...
The misery keeps on coming for the New York Mets. In a less-than-ideal start to the homestand, the Mets dropped two out of three to the Reds at Citi Field. They did win the series finale to snap a five-game losing streak, but that’s hardly cause to celebrate. We’re currently witnessing a team that can’t get out of its own way. Even at full health, it is hard to have any faith...
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...
Good morning, Mets fans! The next starter the Mets face has a 7.20 ERA. Good news? Devin Williams hadn’t allowed a run since April 23 (10 outings) when he entered a scoreless game Sunday against the Marlins in the ninth inning. That changed quickly: Double, sacrifice bunt, walk, intentional walk, a Heriberto Hernández walk-off grand slam. MMO’s Brandyn Pokrass’ excellent recap...
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...
