The start of a new week means another tough weekend to unpack for the New York Mets. It was largely a weekend to forget for the Mets in Philadelphia. An implosion from the bullpen led to an ugly 10-2 defeat and a seventh straight loss in Friday’s series opener. The team had seemingly hit rock bottom. Then, on Saturday, a corner seemed to have been turned. The offense exploded into life...
Good morning, Mets fans! Sean Manaea looked fantastic in his rehab start in Triple-A on Friday. The lefty tossed 5 1/3 innings, allowing just one run on two hits, no walks and seven strikeouts. He will likely undergo a few more rehab starts before returning to the major league team, but he will certainly be a massive reinforcement when that time comes. Latest Mets News The Mets (45-31)...
In the Mets’ (16-7) first game against the Phillies (13-10) since Francisco Lindor ended Philadelphia’s season in last year’s NLCS, Lindor delivered two home runs, including a three-run shot to power the Mets to a 5-4 win. Lindor is on some run right now, as he has hit four home runs in his last four games. His first homer of Monday’s game came in the first inning, giving...
Good morning, Mets fans! Carlos Mendoza announced the Mets’ pitching schedule for the first two games of the NLDS on Friday.

Mendoza then announced that Luis Severino will pitch Game 2 on the road on regular rest. Latest Mets...
Good morning, Mets fans! Wild Card Update Despite the Mets getting shellacked by the Phillies in a 12-2 loss Friday night, they remain two games ahead of the Braves for control of the final Wild Card spot after Atlanta lost to the Marlins 4-3. It’s a painful loss for the Braves, who couldn’t defeat the lowly Marlins to take advantage of New York’s defeat. While the Mets will...
This past weekend represented a real blow to the New York Mets’ hopes of making the postseason. Two consecutive losses to the elite Phillies ensured the Mets failed to make up any ground on their NL Wild Card rivals. More importantly, though, a nagging injury to a crucial player ensured a rather dark cloud will hover over this team heading into the week. However, all hope is not lost, and,...
Good morning, Mets fans! Manager Carlos Mendoza gave an update on Friday about Paul Blackburn’s status, mentioning that Blackburn is not expected to pitch in the next 7-10 days and is being considered week-to-week. Blackburn was expected to return off the injured list and make a start on Monday but missed it due to a sore back. His status has worsened, and he is now expected to miss more...

The National League East features a solid batch of second basemen. They collectively hold several accolades, including seven All-Star selections, three league batting titles (two of which were Major League batting titles), and five Silver Slugger awards. Jeff McNeil, second baseman for the New York Mets, is one of those players who has accomplished plenty in his six-year career. 2023 was not...
Good morning, Mets fans! A postseason that hasn’t had many exciting moments received its fair share of excitement on Friday night, as both the Astros and the Diamondbacks won their League Championship Series matchups in comeback fashion. In the ALCS, the Rangers took a 4-2 lead into the ninth inning but José Altuve provided yet another iconic postseason moment as he launched a three-run...
The Mets finally got a full game of baseball in on Saturday afternoon, in the first game of a doubleheader with the Phillies. For the second time in eight days, Tylor Megill and Taijuan Walker matched up against each other after Walker and the Phillies triumphed the first time around. It was a different story in this one, with Megill and the Mets taking a 4-3 win. Megill was fantastic in what is...
