It was a winning start for the New York Mets post-All-Star break. In Philadelphia for a three-game series, the Mets took two out of three from the Phillies. As has been the case throughout this season, it wasn’t always perfect or pretty. However, while series wins don’t matter all that much now, it was nice to see some things click, especially in a dominant performance on Sunday to...
Good morning, Mets fans! Per Chelsea Janes of SNY, the Mets and Clay Holmes are expecting to begin extension talks in the coming days. Holmes has been out due to injury since mid-May, but he was spectacular early on in the season. Through nine starts, he has a 2.39 ERA after having a 3.53 ERA a year ago. There’s a possibility Holmes gets traded, but he’s clearly seen as part of the...
The Mets have the best record in baseball since the All-Star break. Sure, they are one of only two teams to have played, but after a miserable first half, it’s a start. Francisco Alvarez homered twice, and Christian Scott delivered 5 2/3 shutout innings to help New York beat the Phillies 4-1. The game was pushed an hour earlier due to the poor air quality caused by the Canada wildfires. Scott...

Welcome back from the All-Star break! The New York Mets (40-57) open the second half on the road against the Philadelphia Phillies (54-43), who will resume play two games behind the Atlanta Braves for the top spot in the National League East. The next few weeks will serve as an evaluation period for New York. The Mets will be sellers at the deadline, which will be important in their pursuit to...
There is no magic cure-all for the 2026 New York Mets. Even after firing manager Carlos Mendoza on Friday, the Mets couldn’t rally under a new voice. Interim manager Andy Green lost two of his first three games in charge in a series loss to the Phillies. While there were some positives on display, we also saw more of the same old problems that have helped to create the current mess the...
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. Thornton was rudely greeted by the Phillies, who scored a run after tallying three straight hits on six pitches to take an early lead in the first inning....
Friday, June 26, 2026 • 7:10 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY RHP Zack Wheeler (7-1, 2.11) vs. LHP Zach Thornton (0-1, 8.31) WPIX The Mets had a chance to snap their losing streak last night, but fell short. For a second straight game the Mets made some key errors, leading to three unearned runs scoring in the sixth inning. The Mets were able to claw back to make the game 3-3, sending it to extras....
The 2026 New York Mets may well be one of the worst teams money has ever bought. Unable to put any sort of winning streak together, the Mets once again showed how flawed they are during a series loss in Philadelphia over the weekend. Despite taking the series opener, the Mets flamed out in the final two games, including suffering a humiliating 15-3 blowout loss on Saturday. As a result, New York...
The AL and NL MVP awards have run through two names the past couple seasons: Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. But with Judge hurt in the AL, a new name has emerged as a favorite for the 2026 adaptation. Ben Rice has dominated the majors this season. And sure, we’ve highlighted the first baseman numerous times through the power rankings on Metsmerized.com. But it’s June. This is...
One step forward, one step back. That is what the New York Mets (33-41) have done in recent weeks. After taking two of three against the first-place Atlanta Braves last weekend, they followed that up by losing two of three against the Cincinnati Reds – not a good recipe for trying to push closer to .500. The Mets will try to reset against the Philadelphia Phillies (40-34), who are now 31-14...
Something’s brewing in Miami. The fish ripped off a six-game win streak last week, securing a .500 record for the first time since April 24. The streak started with impressive wins over the first-place Tampa Bay Rays, then they beat up on equal opponents in the Diamondbacks and Pirates. Miami is certainly an interesting team to watch as the league approaches the mid-summer classic. They...
