The final weekend of the MLB regular season has arrived! While the drama and chaos will take place elsewhere, the New York Mets (73-86) will still be in action for three more games. They will face the Washington Nationals (75-84) following a series win over the Texas Rangers earlier this week. Let’s take a look at some notes ahead of the three pitching matchups this weekend. PITCHING...
The New York Mets are looking to finish the 2026 season with a flourish. In the penultimate series of the year, the Mets took two out of three from a Texas Rangers team fighting for their playoff lives. There were yet more signs of encouragement for next year. Furthermore, it also proved to be a significant few days off the field too. The Mets gave Andy Green the manager’s job on a...
Last November, the Mets traded Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for Marcus Semien. When you frame the trade like that it is easy to look at Semien’s .624 OPS and Nimmo’s .731 OPS and think it is a trade the Mets should regret, but it was never truly a one-for-one trade in that sense. Semien was never acquired with the expectation that he would replicate Nimmo’s offense. He was the best return...
Going into 2026, Zac Thornton wasn’t one of the Mets’ blue-chip prospects. But after he spent most of the first half of the year in the minors, he got called up in July and proved down the stretch why he belongs. Thornton’s final start of the year was another solid one. He allowed two runs over five innings against the Texas Rangers on Thursday, giving up four hits while walking one...
The Mets headed west to Texas this week for a three-game series against the Texas Rangers that began on Tuesday. While the Mets have been eliminated from playoff contention, the Rangers led the AL West at the start of play and control their own destiny for the division title. For the Mets, though no longer in a playoff race, Tuesday’s game as it was Andy Green’s first game as full-time...
The Syracuse Mets finished their season 5-1 in a six-game series against the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. Despite the strong finish, the Mets just missed clinching a spot in the postseason by 1.5 games, meaning their season has come to an end. After a very successful season across the organization a year ago, none of the Mets’ four full-season minor league affiliates made a postseason this...
The New York Mets signed off at Citi Field for 2026 in typically frustrating fashion. In what was the final home series of the year, the Mets split with the Phillies, with both teams winning two games apiece. Some inconsistent pitching didn’t help. As a result, the Mets finished the 2026 season 36-45 at home, which sums up just how disappointing this season has been. The team also bid an...
For the final time this season at home, the New York Mets have “put it in the books” for the 2026 home season. Unfortunately, the season and this home finale did not go as the Mets had hoped, as they lost the Sunday matinee 7-2 against the Philadelphia Phillies, ending their series with a record of 6-7 against their rivals from Philadelphia. The Mets finish 2026 at Citi Field with a 36-45...
Sunday, September 20, 2026 • 1:10 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY LHP Cristopher Sánchez (17-6, 2.93) vs. RHP Jonah Tong (2-1, 3.43) WPIX The New York Mets will try to “put it in the books” for the last time at home this season. Prior to being postponed to 2027 due to the presence of weather, the long-time voice of the Mets, Howie Rose was set to be honored. He has been the soundtrack for many fans...
Meet the New York Mets’ single season rookie hits record holder, Carson Benge! Saturday evening’s win over the Phillies was an emotional day on several fronts for Mets fans. Between Carlos Beltrán’s No. 15 being retired, legendary broadcaster Howie Rose signing off for potentially the final time, and Mets rookie phenom Carson Benge setting the Mets rookie hit record, there was a lot...
Good morning, Mets fans! Yankees superstar Aaron Judge is headed back to the injured list, this time with a right calf strain. It is highly unlikely Judge returns for the end of the regular season, and his status beyond that is uncertain as well. When healthy this year, Judge has an .871 OPS which is a poor season for his standards. The Yankees are 89-64, four games behind the Rays for the AL...
Zac Thornton and the Mets (69-84) took on the Phillies (85-68) in the second game of a four-game set at Citi Field. Thornton made his second-to-last start of the season, looking to finish off a wonderful rookie season. He would do just that, pitching six innings of two-run ball in the Mets 6-3 win Thornton took the mound for the top of the first, looking to begin his outing without allowing a...
