In what could have been a promising away stand for the Mets against the two worst NL East teams, the Mets delivered a mediocre result last week, going 3-3. They lost the series against the Nationals, then traveled to Atlanta, where it seemed like they were righting the ship by winning the first two games big, 12-7 and 9-2, only to suffer another blown lead to drop the final game. Overall, the...

Major League Baseball announced the American League and National League Players of the Week on Monday, and a pair of shortstops earned last week’s honors. Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (8-for-25 [.320 AVG], four home runs, eight RBIs, and a 1.254 OPS) earned the designation for the American League, and Francisco Lindor, who, for the fifth time in his career, earned the honors for the...
Another rough stretch for the Mets, who went 0-6 last week. Most disheartening were the blown late leads in multiple games. They’ve fallen to second place in the NL East and dropped to the third spot in the Wild Card race. With the Cincinnati Reds’ win on Sunday, the Mets hold just a 1.5-game lead for the final Wild Card spot in the NL. Something has to jolt this team to life as the season...

It has been a crazy week for the New York Mets, to say the least. From trailing in the ninth inning of Game 3 against Milwaukee with their backs against the wall, to a home run that made MLB history. From coming close to being shut out by a former Mets pitcher, to scoring five runs in the eighth inning to lead to a Game 1 win in Philadelphia. Mark Vientos did his best to create another magical...
The Mets split the week between six games against the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies and currently find themselves tied with the Atlanta Braves for the third and final Wild Card spot. Back-to-back losses at Citizens Bank Park to close out the week cast some uncertainty heading into the final stretch. However, with Atlanta’s late-inning implosion to Los Angeles, the Mets ended...
