Nolan McLean was all the Mets needed on the bump, as he delivered six impressive innings while recording a season-high 10 strikeouts, allowing just two hits and two walks, notching...

However, Cora is expected to join the Philadelphia Phillies despite rejecting their offer midseason prior to the hiring of interim Don Mattingly. Beltrán...
Close, but no cigar seems to be the recurring theme for the New York Mets this season. The Mets sought to win the series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies and end a frustrating few days. However, after several missed opportunities with runners on base and some untimely pitching, the Phillies took the lead late in the game and nabbed a 5-4 victory on the road. This marks...

Zach Thornton and the Mets (34-48) took on the Phillies (46-36) in their first game since the firing of Carlos Mendoza. The first game of the series went the same way as the first half of the season went: a 2-1 loss, their seventh in a row.

Sports, and specifically baseball, can have patterns to them. As a season churns along, games start to mirror each other, even if they do not occur in the exact same way. This can happen when a team repeatedly fails, and it can happen when a team repeatedly succeeds. Unfortunately for the Mets, the rhythm of things has fallen into the negative category. Facing the Phillies on Sunday night, the...
On Saturday night, the New York Mets lost to the Philadelphia Phillies by a final score of 15-3. Kyle Schwarber hit as many home runs (three) as the Mets scored runs. Bryce Harper hit for the cycle, in only five innings, for the first time in his career. And yet, neither of these players were the biggest problem for the Mets. On January 21, when the Mets made the blockbuster trade for ace Freddy...
It’s tricky to rank managers. In his two years with the New York Mets, Carlos Mendoza’s teams have overachieved and underachieved. I believe it’s important for Mendoza’s sake that the Mets get off to a good start. The Mets firing/not retaining so much of his coaching staff after the 2025 debacle sends a signal that he could be next. Here’s hoping Mendoza finds the...
