3 Up, 3 Down: 2025 Mets First Half Edition

With the All-Star break upon us, now is the perfect time to take stock as far as the New York Mets are concerned. The first half of the 2025 MLB season is officially in the books. And, at the break, the Mets are well-positioned. They sit half a game out of first in the NL East with a 55-42 record. It was undoubtedly a wild first half for New York. A scorching start was followed by an all-time...

Max Kranick Placed on IL, Dedniel Núñez Recalled

The Mets have placed Max Kranick on the 15-day injured list due to a right elbow strain and made some additional bullpen adjustments ahead of Thursday’s series finale against the Braves. Ty Adcock was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse after his outing on Wednesday. Adcock pitched an inning against Atlanta, his second outing in a week.

3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Humbled By Rays In Sweep

What could go wrong, did go wrong this weekend for the New York Mets. For the very first time in 2025, the Mets found themselves on the wrong end of a series sweep. They offered little resistance against a red-hot Rays team. There were a lot of worrying trends to emerge from the weekend. The starting rotation showed consistent signs of regression throughout the series. The bullpen couldn’t...

Mets Still Figuring Out Middle of the Bullpen

Through five innings, it looked like it was all coming up Mets. Clay Holmes gave them five solid innings, and they manufactured five runs in a two-inning span. But by the end of the night, the story was the bullpen — the moves Carlos Mendoza made, and didn’t make, and what exactly went wrong in a sudden six-run implosion in the sixth inning. First, it’s important to note that the...

Morning Briefing: Mets Recalling Kranick Following Senga’s Injury

Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets beat the Nationals 4-3 to complete the series sweep on Thursday, but Kodai Senga left with a right hamstring strain after leaping for a high throw at first. Senga had pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings, lowering his ERA to an MLB-best 1.47. Jeff McNeil hit a three-run homer, Brandon Nimmo added a solo shot, and Edwin Díaz held off a late Nats rally for his 14th...

Megill Strikes Out 10, Awaits Fate

In what may turn out to be Tylor Megill’s last big-league start for a while, he struck out 10 to help the Mets to a 5-1 victory Wednesday in Boston. He was as good as ever for four scoreless frames, highlighted by striking out the heart of the Red Sox order (Alex Bregman, Wilyer Abreu and Kristian Campbell) in the fourth inning. The fifth inning was a bumpy ride, with a couple of infield...

3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Ride Clutch Wave To Win Cubs Series

The New York Mets sent a real statement by taking two out of three from a very good Chicago Cubs team. Coming up with the big hit in key spots was the driving force behind an impressive series win at Citi Field. Some stellar pitching from both the rotation and bullpen also helped. There were also some negatives too. For instance, the runners in scoring position issue reared its ugly head once...

Megill Falters, Offense Falls Short in 6-5 Loss to Cubs

If there’s one thing we know about the 2025 New York Mets so far this season, it’s that when they lose games, it’s usually the same way. The starting pitching struggles and doesn’t go deep, and most of all, the offense doesn’t capitalize on its opportunities. That reared its ugly head again in the Mets’ 6-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday Night. Chicago...

3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Best in Baseball After Phillies Sweep

It is official – the New York Mets are the best team in Major League Baseball. At 18-7, the Mets own the best record in baseball and are red-hot right now. They swept the Phillies to go a perfect 7-0 on the homestand. The last time (and only other) New York was perfect at home? April 2015, when that year’s team went 10-0. Furthermore, the Mets are 12-1 at Citi Field in 2025, marking...
