Good morning, Mets fans! The New York Yankees, Los Angeles Angels and San Diego Padres made important additions to their 2024 staff on Tuesday. The Yankees announced the hiring of former Detroit Tigers and Angels manager Brad Ausmus as their bench coach, filling the vacancy made by Carlos Mendoza departing to become the Mets manager. Ausmus, a 48th-round draft pick by the Yankees in 1987, has...

Truth be told, it feels somewhat problematic to restrict formidable Mets opponents to a small roster of players. Anyone who has watched the franchise play for even five or six years knows that pedigree is just one part of the equation: literally Conor Gillaspie, Luis Sojo, and Terry Pendleton could qualify as Met killers on the basis of one accomplishment alone. The point I’m trying to...
Wayne Randazzo of WCBS880 reports that Noah Syndergaard left Saturday night’s game with a right hamstring strain. With the Mets up 8-3 in the seventh inning, Mets starter Noah Syndergaard grabbed at his hamstring following a pitch. After allowing a single and a stolen base to start the seventh inning, Syndergaard was visited on the mound by manager Mickey Callaway and Brian Chicklo, the...

With Zack Wheeler departing from his start against the St. Louis Cardinals after the fourth inning, the Mets decided to turn the ball over to Matt Harvey for his first relief appearance in 2018. His first appearance had mixed results as he showed both flashes of an effective reliever, as well as the shades of grey that have marked the last few years of his career since he got surgery for...
The New York Mets (2-1) dropped the series finale to the St. Louis Cardinals (1-2) at Citi Field in this matinee by a score of 5-1. Pitching Steven Matz started for the Mets today and labored through four innings. Matz struck out two in the first but gave up a home run to Paul DeJong in the second inning.

The Mets will host the Houston Astros today as Jason Vargas looks to give the Mets their first winning streak of the Spring. This will be the third Spring Training meet-up with the defending World Series Champions. Vargas will face off against former-Met Collin McHugh in a 1:10 p.m. game. Going into Spring Training, Matt Harvey certainly had something to prove and he’s silenced all...

The New York Mets (41-49) lost 6-3 to the St.Louis Cardinals (45-47) on Monday night, in the first game of a four-game series. Pitching: Zack Wheeler looked good through the first four innings, but ran into trouble in the fifth in which he allowed three walks. In the sixth, he would allow an infield single to Yadier Molina and then a two-run homer to Paul DeJong (yes, again….). Kolten...
It’s been a sobering season for the Mets to say the least. A slew of pitching injuries, diminished returns from the disabled list, and underperforming players have made them prey to practically any team that has a pulse. The Cardinals may not be at the bottom of the heap, but at two games under .500, they should be fair game for a ball club that desperately needs to find its footing. Losing...
The Mets will take on the St. Louis Cardinals for the final game before the All-Star break today at 2:15 p.m. They will send out Steven Matz to face Lance Lynn with the hopes of ending the first half on a high note. Last night, the Mets lost 4-1. Paul DeJong once again went off against the Mets going 4-for-4 with a home run and three doubles. The Mets lone run scored against Adam Wainwright and...
