Good Morning, Mets fans! Michael Wacha (1-2, 7.41 ERA) took the mound for game one of the doubleheader, striking out seven in three innings but allowing four runs. Fortunately, after Jordan Montgomery (2-1, 4.44 ERA) shut the Mets out for the first four innings, the Mets’ bats woke up and bailed the right-hander out, coming from behind to take a 6-4 lead which they ultimately held onto....
Good morning, Mets fans! Latest Mets News Luis Rojas is officially the new manager for the New York Mets and it’s a “dream come true.” If you missed his press conference yesterday, you can find a video of it on the Mets Twitter account. Latest MLB News Twelve years before the Negro League began and long before Jackie Robinson’s debut as a Major League Baseball player, the...
First off, I want to give a shoutout to Mets fans (especially Mets Twitter) for the amazing feedback and support on this artwork. So why did I do it in the first place? I’ve been getting requests for a Mets word art for years. Even though Citi Field is the current home, I knew Shea had to be the image. A true cathedral of baseball, it was an iconic building that represented the franchise...
I was having a pretty good day, the Mets had the day off fresh after a series win in Kansas City, and I thought, “Hey, why not take a day off too?” Then, about 8 minutes ago, I got a message from one of my editors Brian, asking if we should post about Al Jackson… It took a few seconds for it to sink in and after jumping onto Mets Twitter, it confirmed to me that the worst had...
In yet another impressive outing from the resurgent Noah Syndergaard on Saturday evening, the right-hander, with the help of the Mets’ blazing hot offense, pitched the team to a series-clinching 4-3 comeback win over the Washington Nationals. Syndergaard looked shaky early on. The righty had trouble settling in to the first inning, throwing 29 pitches and giving up two runs; a home run by Juan...
No, I’m not going to cry you a river about former Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud after his epic performance against the New York Yankees last night in the Bronx. In spectacular fashion, d’Arnaud poked a ninth inning, two-out, three-run homer to give the Tampa Bay Rays a 5-4 lead over the Yanks and ultimately the win. D’Arnaud, 30, hit a career-high three home runs in the...
I know that the media and Mets Twitter have come out and trashed this proposed deal deal bringing Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz to Flushing but I totally understand it and love the fact that Brodie Van Wagenen is not afraid of the backlash he knew would surface as this deal was being negotiated. The one thing I keep hearing is he is doing Robinson Cano a “favor” and I have to laugh. I...
Mets’ first base prospect Peter Alonso launched a home run into the stratosphere in Sunday’s MLB Futures Game. In fact he had a 113 mph exit velocity and 46 degree launch angle on his 415 foot bomb, numbers Statcast has never even seen since the tracking technology began in 2015. “Oh my God, that felt, it felt like lightning bolt hit the tip of my bat,” Alonso said. “That was...
It was the winter of 2013 and the Mets had just wrapped up another subpar season, going 74-88 and finishing third in the National League East. General manager Sandy Alderson was gearing up for the future, stockpiling young talent and stripping down the veterans that his predecessor Omar Minaya had left him. With Matt Harvey bursting on the scene, promising right-hander Zack Wheeler in the...
As far as I’m concerned, Mets fans are without question the best and most loyal fans in baseball. Their passion for the team is always on full display here on MMO and of course on social media where Mets Twitter has become an MLB phenomenon. The connections that Mets fans make with the players is widely known and it goes all the way back to the formative years when Casey Stengel donned his...
I love a good underdog story and on Wednesday afternoon, utility infielder Matt Reynolds rose to the occasion and hit the home run that proved to be the game winner in the Mets’ 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals at Citi Field. It was his first major league home run. “That was probably one of the biggest moments I’ve had in my career,” Reynolds said after the game....
“You win some, you lose some.” That has been the case for the 2016 Mets so far, but somehow they add much more stress than necessary. This week was another up-and-down string of games, with a bad series loss to a mediocre team to a good series win against an above-average team. It opened with an atrocious start from Steven Matz, and ended with a stellar one from him. We saw Michael...
