Following a 2022 season in which the Syracuse Mets posted a disappointing 64-85 record, there was hope that they would be able to turn things around in 2023. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out that way. In fact, the team arguably experienced an even worse season in Dick Scott’s first year managing the club. Posting the second-worst record in the International League at 61-85, the...
The Mets finally got a full game of baseball in on Saturday afternoon, in the first game of a doubleheader with the Phillies. For the second time in eight days, Tylor Megill and Taijuan Walker matched up against each other after Walker and the Phillies triumphed the first time around. It was a different story in this one, with Megill and the Mets taking a 4-3 win. Megill was fantastic in what is...
The Phillies hosted the Mets for the second of a four-game series on Friday night. After taking an early 2-0 lead, the Mets allowed four consecutive runs and fell flat. However, the Mets closed a 4-2 deficit in the final innings, sending the game to extras, but it was the Phillies who came out on top 5-4 in 10 innings. The Mets got the scoring started early, putting a run up against former Met...
The Mets hosted the Braves for the first of a four-game set on Friday night. It is the first series between the two teams since the Mets were swept in nightmarish fashion in Atlanta at the beginning of June. In a matchup between Tylor Megill and Charlie Morton, the Braves overmatched the Mets en route to a 7-0 victory. Prior to the game, Francisco Lindor was a late scratch from the lineup due to...
Poor pitching and offense have defined the Mets following the trade deadline. In a Saturday night matchup between Tylor Megill and Kyle Gibson, it was more of the same as the Orioles defeated the Mets 7-3. New York has now lost five consecutive games while being outscored 37-14. In his return to the big leagues after a shaky stint in the minors, Megill was hit hard right from the outset. The...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets defeated the Cardinals 6-1 on Friday night, giving them consecutive wins for the first time in June. The Mets entered the game with a 3-9 record during the month, struggling mightily and failing to gain any sort of momentum. Now with two straight wins and two more games against the reeling Cardinals on deck, the Mets have a chance to get back on track. During...
When Francisco Lindor bobbled what would have been an easy double play to get through a clean third inning, a team like the 2022 Mets might have rebounded and put up a clean inning anyway. Not the 2023 Mets. What resulted was a five-run inning, highlighted by multiple defensive blunders, which led the way for an embarrassing 14-7 defeat in the first game of a three-game series against the...
Tylor Megill entered Friday night without a win since April 12 and had allowed at least three runs in each of his last four starts. Facing off against the Nationals, Megill dodged traffic to allow just one earned run in the Mets’ 3-2 win in their series opener in Washington. Megill continued the trend of the Mets’ starters struggling in the first inning – allowing a two-out RBI...
The Mets entered Friday having lost five straight series, four against teams with losing records. Their game Friday night marked a great chance for the team to turn things around, as they began a four-game series with the Nationals. Tylor Megill drew the start for New York while MacKenzie Gore, who struck out 10 in six innings in his last outing against the Mets, got the start for Washington....
Facing the Marlins for the second time in six days, Tylor Megill followed up his solid effort in Miami with a strong start in the Mets’ 2023 home opener. The big righty tossed six shutout innings, allowing just three hits and two walks while striking out three. Megill only had one 1-2-3 inning, but only allowed the Marlins to get a base runner to second base once – on Luis...
The Mets took the field at loanDepot Park on Saturday afternoon looking to rebound from their disappointing loss on Friday evening. Tylor Megill started the game for the Mets in place of Justin Verlander, who was put on the Injured List, while the promising Edward Cabrera took the mound for the Marlins. While the bats went cold on Friday, they were able to come through in the clutch as big hits...
Good morning, Mets fans! On Friday, it was officially announced that Justin Verlander will start the home opener on April 6. To line him up for that, he is slated to start the third game of the year for the Mets, which will be April 1 in Miami. With Scherzer scheduled for Opening Day and Verlander set to pitch the third game of the year, Tim Healey of Newsday tweeted what is likely to be the...
