The Major League Baseball Players Association announced the finalists for their annual Players’ Choice Awards on Tuesday. Francisco Lindor and Kodai Senga were the two Mets chosen as finalists in their respective categories. Lindor is a finalist for the Marvin Miller Man of the Year award—the same award he won last year. The award is named after Marvin Miller, the MLBPA executive director...
After an off day on Thursday, the Mets traveled to Target Field in Minneapolis to take on the Twins for a three-game set. The first game of the series took place on Friday night, with Kodai Senga taking the mound against Dallas Keuchel. In a game that was close most of the night, the Twins pulled ahead late to defeat the Mets 5-2. A solid outing from Senga was spoiled by the bullpen in a bizarre...
Good morning, Mets fans! According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the pitch-clock rules that have been in effect for the 2023 regular season will remain the same for the playoffs. Passan reports that MLB’s owner-led executive council told the league’s competition committee that they would not propose any changes prior to the postseason despite players expressing hope for more time between...
With the calendar flipping to September, the Mets began a three-game series with the Mariners on Friday night. The first game of the series marked the official beginning of the youth movement in Queens as Brett Baty was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse along with Ronny Mauricio, who made his big league debut batting ninth and playing second base. The Mets’ bats were quiet early but the team...
Good morning, Mets fans. The Mets hit a new low on Friday night, losing to the Angels 3-1 to fall into last place in the NL East for the first time since August 2020. Although the Mets are riding a tough three-game losing streak and have had a rough go of it from the beginning, the Mets being in last place is also a testament to how well the Nationals have played lately, playing at a 24-15...
Coming off of a seven-game road trip, the Mets traveled back home to take on the Angels for the first of a three-game series on Friday night. Fittingly, it was Japanese Heritage Night at the ballpark with not only Kodai Senga on the mound, but with Shohei Ohtani making his first visit to Queens. In a game with very little offense, it was Ohtani’s team that came out on top 3-1, sending the...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets defeated the Cardinals on Friday night 7-1, giving the team three consecutive wins for the first time since July 16-19. The team is in the midst of a solid stretch, having won five of their last six, after looking completely flat following the trade deadline. With their better play of late, even with that abysmal stretch after their sell-off, the Mets enter...
Friday night’s game between the Mets and Red Sox was suspended following a downpour of rain and a lengthy delay. At the time of the stoppage, the Mets held onto a 4-3 lead with one out and nobody on in the bottom of the fourth inning. The Mets actually fell into a three-run deficit within the first two innings as Kodai Senga failed to strand Boston baserunners early. Jarren Duran scored on...
The Mets began a series with the Red Sox on Friday night at Fenway Park, but the two teams couldn’t progress past the fourth inning before heavy rain halted play with the Mets leading 4-3. After multiple hours, the game was suspended as the weather refused to relent. Although play halted with the Mets in the lead, it was the Red Sox who scored first. Jarren Duran reached base with a...
The Mets entered the second half of the season with a Friday night matchup against the Dodgers, looking to put their first half of the season behind them. Needing to win now with the trade deadline just weeks away, the Mets looked as flat as could be and dropped the game 6-0 to fall to 42-49. After Julio Urías gave up a leadoff double to Brandon Nimmo that was initially ruled a home run but...
If there are two main reasons why the Mets have been a sub-.500 ball club this year, it’s because of first-inning struggles and inexcusable mental miscues. When you fall behind early and consistently make mistakes, you’re going to lose more games than you win. That remained true on Friday night as the Mets fell behind due to multiple defensive mishaps and couldn’t get the offense going,...
Coming off of a shocking and disappointing three-game sweep at the hands of the Tigers, the Mets took the field on Friday night looking to right the ship against the Rockies who entered the game on a four-game win streak. Kodai Senga got the start for New York and Antonio Senzatela, making his first appearance since last August, got the start for Colorado. There wasn’t much offense from...
