PNC Park quickly became one of my favorite ballparks. It hands down has the best view – there really is no argument. If you don’t believe me, take a look for yourself… this has immediately become my favorite ballpark view pic.twitter.com/1aRSaYZEC0 — Michelle Ioannou (@mnioannou) August 2, 2019 I still can’t get over it.

The Mets (31-25) were defeated by the Pittsburgh Pirates (31-26) in the first game of a doubleheader by a score of 3-1 this afternoon at PNC Park. Pitching: Long Island native Steven Matz toed the rubber for the Mets this afternoon, and though the young lefty labored through a lot of pitches and visibly did not have his best stuff, still managed to hold the Bucs to just two runs over five...

The last time the Mets were in Pittsburgh, I wrote a piece about PNC Park having similar effects to the Mets as Atlanta’s Turner Field once had, and to an effect, still has. Over the past few years, PNC Park had become a house of horrors for the Mets.

Last year, the Mets were 1-8 in Atlanta, easily their worst record...
