It’s almost here! Opening Day’s almost here. That means that it’s also time for us to share our prediction pieces with you. We’ve already told you what we think the Mets Opening Day lineup will look like. How do we think the Mets will do? Who do we think will take the National League East? How will the rest of the league fair? Here’s what we here at MMO think. Christian De Block Mets...
Good morning, Mets fans. The Mets (82-78) fell to the Marlins (78-82) 6-2 Friday night. New York got out to a 2-0 lead just four batters into the game but couldn’t muster up any offense afterwards. The team’s sloppy defense continued, and it contributed greatly to a six-run fifth inning for the Marlins that put the game to bed. Meanwhile, the Reds (82-78) won their game over the...
The first game of the Mets’ massive four-game series with the Phillies on Monday night featured a pitching matchup of Nolan McLean and Aaron Nola that heavily favored the Mets. After all, McLean dominated the Phillies for eight scoreless innings the last time he faced them, and Nola entered Monday’s action with a 6.78 ERA on the season. But that’s why games are played on fields...
Good morning, Mets fans! Beginning with Saturday’s game against the Reds, the Mets are about to enter a three-game stretch where Jonah Tong, Brandon Sproat and Nolan McLean will start for New York. Sproat’s outing will be his major league debut, while Tong and McLean have put a jolt into a Mets team that badly needed it — McLean has had a historic four-start stretch to begin his...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets defeated the Braves 12-7 on Friday night. The offense woke up in a big way, recording 21 hits, while Nolan McLean dazzled in seven strong innings. Reed Garrett and Ryan Helsley faltered, though, and gave up a combined five runs over the final two innings. With the Mets’ win, and the Phillies and Reds both losing, the Mets gained ground in both the NL East...
Monday night’s series opener between the Mets (62-45) and Padres (58-49) had the atmosphere of a playoff game you wouldn’t expect from a game in late July. An ejected manager, a home run robbery, a grand slam, an erased four-run lead, a game-tying home run in the ninth, and a walk-off hit were all part of the equation as the Padres beat the Mets 7-6. The beginning of the game was...
Good morning, Mets fans! On Friday, the Mets announced that Paul Blackburn would begin a rehab assignment with High-A Brooklyn. Blackburn made that start Friday night, and he allowed two runs in three innings while striking out six batters. Blackburn has yet to appear in a major league game this year but he’s on his way, and he will certainly be counted on for innings either as a sixth...
Good morning, Mets fans! Wild Card Update Despite the Mets getting shellacked by the Phillies in a 12-2 loss Friday night, they remain two games ahead of the Braves for control of the final Wild Card spot after Atlanta lost to the Marlins 4-3. It’s a painful loss for the Braves, who couldn’t defeat the lowly Marlins to take advantage of New York’s defeat. While the Mets will...
Remember when Sean Manaea couldn’t make it out of the fifth inning this year? When he would flash the strikeout stuff, but also walk too many batters and hand the ball to the bullpen with at least twelve outs to get. Well, that was first half Manaea. And when the Mets started winning toward the All-Star break, Manaea continued to work, dropped his arm slot, and has turned out an ace-like...
This past weekend represented a real blow to the New York Mets’ hopes of making the postseason. Two consecutive losses to the elite Phillies ensured the Mets failed to make up any ground on their NL Wild Card rivals. More importantly, though, a nagging injury to a crucial player ensured a rather dark cloud will hover over this team heading into the week. However, all hope is not lost, and,...
The National League East features a solid batch of second basemen. They collectively hold several accolades, including seven All-Star selections, three league batting titles (two of which were Major League batting titles), and five Silver Slugger awards. Jeff McNeil, second baseman for the New York Mets, is one of those players who has accomplished plenty in his six-year career. 2023 was not...
It’s award season in Major League Baseball, and today, the prestigious Gold Glove awards were being presented. For the New York Mets, their only finalist was shortstop Francisco Lindor. Lindor, in 2023, continued his success at shortstop by making tremendous defensive plays and turning in an overall very valuable season. Lindor led all shortstops in innings played this year with 1,366 and...
