The Mets (14-14) opened their series with the Cubs (18-11) at Citi Field on Monday evening. A game that carried so much excitement and anticipation wound up crashing down on the Mets, who surrendered two runs in the ninth inning of a tie game to fall to the Cubs 3-1. Luis Severino (2-2, 2.31 ERA) took the mound for the Mets, and for the second straight outing, he remained perfect his first time...
This was a no-hitter regardless of how you viewed it or how many pitchers it took. The Mets waited more than 50 years for their first: Johan Santana providing the entirety of the 134 tosses on a Friday night at Citi Field. They waited nearly 10 years for the next one: also on a Friday night, also at Citi Field, but using five pitchers to deliver the 159 needed against the Philadelphia Phillies....
His contributions to the Mets are measured in quality, not quantity. Injuries deprived us of knowing whether or not Johan Santana could’ve reached the expectations placed on him when he came to New York 15 years ago. He won two Cy Young Awards with the Minnesota Twins while solidifying himself as the premiere starting pitcher in baseball. The Mets were intent on avenging a late-season...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Astros defeated the Phillies 5-0 last night to even the World Series at 2-2. The Astros threw the second-ever World Series no-hitter. Cristian Javier started and pitched the first six innings, then Bryan Abreu, former Met Rafael Montero, and Ryan Pressly each pitched an inning to secure the combined no-hitter. Javier, through a translator, told FOX after the game...
Although the Mets were bounced out of the playoffs earlier than expected, there will still plenty of memorable moments during a 101-win season. Next season there will be a new mix of players in the clubhouse and the expectation will be that the team continues to progress as opposed to regressing as they did during the Wilpon era. For now, though, bask in the great things that happened for the...
Sharing the eastern seaboard and the same division understandably creates a rift between fans and players alike, who over the years have exchanged words and sometimes fists. Many notable faces have seen it from both sides: Tug McGraw, Lenny Dykstra, and Zack Wheeler just to same a few. Proximity breeds hatred. And many, if not all, of these memorable games, give added reason for one side to only...
The New York Yankees were no-hit by the Houston Astros Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium. It was the third no-hitter in the majors this year. Right-hander Cristian Javier led the way, throwing the first seven innings. The only baserunners were a walk in the first inning and an error by Alex Bregman. Familiar Mets foe Hector Neris threw the eighth inning, walking a pair but keeping the...
Ex-Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard took a shot at the Mets on Wednesday morning while congratulating current Angels teammate Reid Detmers for throwing a no-hitter against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. “This is what a “real” no hitter looks like,” Syndergaard wrote on an Instagram story. Shots fired by @Noahsyndergaard. #Mets pic.twitter.com/Otk4Ro0JSz — Metsmerized...
Tylor Megill continued his meteoric rise on Friday night as he played a starring role in the Mets creating history. For only the second time in franchise history, the New York Mets threw a no-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field, with the bats doing enough in a 3-0 win. While it was very much a combined effort that secured the second no-hitter through the 9,499 games played by...
The New York Mets did something as a team that had only happened once before in the organization’s 60 year history. On Friday night against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field, the New York Mets threw a no-hitter. This is the second no-hitter the Mets have thrown through the 9,499 games played as an organization. Furthermore, unlike Johan Santana’s legendary no-hitter performance back on...
The New York Mets (15-6) threw a combined no-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies (10-11) on Friday night at Citi Field, winning by a score of 3-0. Five Mets pitchers came together to keep the Phillies out of the hit column, and the Mets now have their second no-hitter in franchise history. Tylor Megill came out guns blazing, firing a flurry of fastballs throughout his five innings of work....
Max Scherzer introduced himself to the Mets faithful with a brilliant performance in his home debut against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. After taking the opening game of the double header earlier in the day, thanks to a walk-off hit from Francisco Lindor in extra innings, Scherzer was able to put on a show in the nightcap. “Working with [Tomas] Nido, I felt like we had much...
