Bad and weird things keep happening to the 2026 New York Mets, and those themes continued in their 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night. Austin Warren almost pulled a rabbit out of the hat, but still, he allowed a game-winning single to Oswald Peraza. There was a play that should’ve been challenged by the Mets early in the game that ended up costing them a run....

The Angels immediately took the lead last night and by the fifth inning it was feeling like another one of those nights for the Mets. The Mets would go on...
The New York Mets are an absolute train wreck. While it is still April, this team appears to be broken. And there doesn’t appear to be any tangible sign of a turnaround on the horizon, either. Instead, the Mets just keep taking backward steps. Take this weekend, for example. New York was swept at home by the Rockies. And, if you need reminding, Colorado lost 119 games in 2025. The offense...

Due to a rainout on Saturday, the New York Mets and Colorado Rockies were forced to play a doubleheader on Sunday at Citi Field. In the first game, beginning early Sunday afternoon, New York was once again let down by a lifeless offense. The Mets left the bases loaded twice in the contest, leading to the 3-1 defeat. They are now 9-18 on the season headed into the second game of the doubleheader...
Good morning, Mets fans! Let’s play two. The Red Sox, off to a 10-17 start, are cleaning house. Boston fired manager Alex Cora Saturday along with hitting coach Peter Fatse, third base coach Kyle Hudson, bench coach Ramon Vazquez, assistant hitting coach Dillon Lawson and major league hitting strategy coach Joe Cronin. The team said Jason Varitek, the game planning and run prevention...
After a horrible two-week road trip on the West Coast, in which the Mets dropped 11 games in a row, they returned home to Citi Field on Tuesday to open a three-game series against the Minnesota Twins. This is the first of nine straight games the Mets will play at home. Nolan McLean took the mound for the Mets against Simeon Woods Richardson for Minnesota. After both teams went down quietly in...
Things appear pretty bleak for the New York Mets right now. While still early, the last couple of weeks have been ugly, and the struggles continued with the Mets being swept by the Dodgers in LA. Over the course of the three games, New York was outscored 14-3. In all, the offense has managed a measly three runs over the last 38 innings. Furthermore, mental errors continue to plague this team....
He had one future Hall of Famer (Shohei Ohtani) shaking his head and another (Freddie Freeman) swinging at pitches out of the strike zone. Nolan McLean’s last pitch was a 90 mph change-up that struck out Andy Pages, who doesn’t have the resume of Ohtani or Freeman but is leading the league in hitting at .397. “We haven’t seen McLean up close, I don’t recall, but man...
The Mets’ skid continued Tuesday night as they dropped their seventh straight game against the Dodgers, falling 1-2. While the offense was thin on both sides, the pitching was fantastic as Nolan McLean and Yoshinobu Yamamoto duked it out in a classic pitchers’ duel. After Francisco Lindor’s leadoff home run to start the game, his first home run and RBI of the season, Yamamoto...
It proved to be an unwelcome return home for the New York Mets. Opening up the homestand with three games against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Mets dropped two out of three to lose the series and fall to 7-6 on the year. While there were some standout moments, a hit-and-miss offense, poor defense, and some bad pitching performances ultimately doomed the Mets. Let’s recap everything in the...
On Thursday, Citi Field witnessed Nolan McLean’s best outing of the year, but it got lost in a 7-1 defeat to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite the lopsided final score, McLean’s performance was the Mets’ clear standout. Through 6 1/3 innings of work, McLean surrendered only three hits and two earned runs, striking out eight, bringing his season ERA to 2.70. The right-hander set the...
