Good morning, Mets fans! Scoring runs shouldn’t be this hard. After the Mets lost the first game of the doubleheader Sunday, Carlos Mendoza was asked if the team’s problems were fixable. “Yes,” he told reporters. “We’ve got to do something.

Checking in on Scott, Tong and Wenninger in Syracuse

On Sunday, the Mets opted to use Tobias Myers to open in front of David Peterson. While this was likely intended as a way to circumvent the issues Peterson has had early in games — which worked — it did also signal a potential loss of faith in Peterson by the Mets. That, coupled with the Mets not naming a starter for Thursday’s game, on Kodai Senga’s day to pitch, raises the...

Kodai Senga Follows Career-Worst Start With Another Shortcoming

Six days after the worst start of his career, Kodai Senga had an outing that was nearly as bad on Friday. It’s hard to rub a wound much deeper than giving up four runs in the first inning when you’ve already lost eight in a row.

3 Up, 3 Down: Struggles Continue As Mets Swept By A’s

It was not a good weekend in New York baseball. And it was an especially tough weekend for the New York Mets. The Mets were swept by the A’s in a series where their offense again failed to show up. Poor pitching and mental lapses also defined all three games. As a result, the Mets have now lost five straight and have dropped to 7-9 on the year. Furthermore, they have scored just nine runs...
