The New York Mets (10-8) are entering their six-game road trip in good spirts coming off the back of a 5-1 home stand. But this weekend’s series may prove to be their greatest test yet, facing off against the high-powered Los Angeles Dodgers (12-8). The signing of Shohei Ohtani makes their lineup, one that already included former MVPs Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, even more dangerous....

3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Perfect The Basics In Pirates Sweep

Arguably the biggest takeaway to emerge from the Pirates series is the fact that the New York Mets just played really fundamentally sound baseball.

Luis Severino Looking Like Reliable Arm for Mets

At first glance, this version of Luis Severino didn’t look much different from last year’s version. As he gave up the most hits (11) that any Mets pitcher has ever given up in a debut, you could hear the “I told you so” grumbles from those who thought the veteran right-hander was finished. Regardless of what you think about the Mets investing in their minor-league...

We Miss You Joe D., Part 1

This week marks a year since we lost MMO founder Joe D., and we will be re-posting a few pieces in memory of him. On Tuesday, his nephew and now site owner, Gino, wrote this piece about Joe.  Mojo Hill My first interaction with Joe was seeing a DM from him asking for my shirt size. I joined Mets Minors in 2018 as a junior in high school, mostly for fun and not really thinking it would ever...
