It proved to be another tough weekend for the New York Mets. Sure, they snapped a five-game losing streak by beating the Giants in walk-off fashion on Sunday – their fifth walk-off win this year. It was nice to see some fight from a team in a freefall. However, one win can’t be a magic cure-all. The Mets have lost five straight series and 22 of their last 32 games. And, with the...

Can it get any worse for the 2024 New York Mets? Can it? You are probably trying to convince yourselves that it can’t, but based on what we’ve seen over the first two months of the season, this is perhaps just the beginning of the bad times. After all, it will only get worse before it gets better, as the old saying goes. The Mets are the perfect picture of ineptitude right now, and...
It is a rare day when the New York Mets (16-15) do not have Francisco Lindor in the starting lineup. He was out of the lineup Thursday after leaving Wednesday’s game early with an illness. But the shortstop still found a way to make an impact in Thursday’s game. Not only did Lindor have a two-run double in the sixth to help erase an early four-run deficit, but he ended up delivering a...

It only took a week, but the New York Mets finally have their first series win of the 2024 MLB season after taking two out of three from the Cincinnati Reds over the weekend. I’d be underselling the point if I said the first week of the season has been disappointing for the Mets. And, despite improving to 3-6 over a good Reds team, there remains a lot of concern in Queens as far as the...
The starting rotation and the bullpen were considered to be the biggest weaknesses for the New York Mets entering the season. That has not been proven true, as the team ranks sixth in all of baseball with a 2.92 ERA. Critical mistakes in the field is what has really cost them on a handful of occasions, giving opponents additional opportunities to score. That was on full display in the...
