That’s it. It’s over. The 2025 New York Mets are officially done for the year. Heading into Miami with their destiny in their own hands, the Mets fumbled the bag in the biggest way possible. They lost two out of three to the Marlins to miss out on the playoffs. While this team has been imploding for the last three-plus months, the way events unfolded this weekend will likely leave a...
After months of lackluster baseball, the New York Mets effectively ended their 2025 season with a whimper, with a 4-0 defeat to the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park on Sunday. The loss culminated in an 83-79 campaign marked by two distinct halves: a strong start of 45 wins and 24 losses, boasting a league-best 2.80 ERA, followed by a significant decline after June 13, where they struggled with a...
The New York Mets now have three games left for all the marbles. After coming up clutch to take two out of three in Chicago, the Mets go into the final weekend of the regular season knowing what they need to do. Just win and take care of business in Miami. That’s easier said than done given this team’s history against the Marlins. But, with that said, the Mets did just grind out two...
The New York Mets desperately needed to find a way to get a victory and end their eight game losing streak on Sunday at Citi Field. In a game that felt like an exact blue print copy of Saturday’s game, the Mets reversed the end result as Ryne Stanek pitched a clutch 10th, and Pete Alonso launched a walk-off homer. This culminated in the 5-2 extra-innings victory. Nolan McLean started the...
The Mets’ bullpen has been a major culprit in the team’s struggles over the last six weeks. Since August 1, they have posted a 4.99 ERA, the fifth-worst mark in baseball. Ryne Stanek and Ryan Helsley have been the biggest concerns, failing time and time again to keep games within reach. Their performance continued to lag on Wednesday as the Mets dropped their fifth straight game, and...
Jonah Tong’s second career start in Cincinnati was much anticipated. The righty impressed in his first start at Citi Field against the Marlins, allowing only one earned run in five promising innings. However, on Saturday night against the Reds amidst a pennant race, Tong didn’t match the success of his first start. Tong’s home run allowed in the second inning was a first for...
Edwin Díaz walked two batters, then he walked the tightrope, with a big assist from Luisangel Acuña. The All-Star closer entered a 5-4 game in the ninth inning Friday in Cincinnati and allowed a single and two walks to load the bases with nobody out. Noelvi Marte worked the count from 0-2 to 3-2 before Díaz struck him out on a slider out of the strike zone. With one out, he caught Elly De La...
The New York Mets have had a season-long Frankie Montas problem, and that continued on Saturday. The 32-year-old veteran entered Saturday night’s game with a 6.68 ERA across seven starts. As a result, the Mets made the decision to pitch an opener in front of the right-handed starter, bring him in the game’s second inning. Despite this, not only was Montas’ performance uneven...
Saturday posed a new way of losing for the New York Mets. In tonight’s script, the Mets had a lead. And they had it late. It was a perfect moment for the Mets to lay everything out on the table, deploy the super bullpen, and go home with a win during the worst stretch of Mets baseball in recent memory. Instead, Carlos Mendoza went to a struggling Ryne Stanek, the tying run scored, and the...
The New York Mets won their sixth-straight game Saturday night, and started their West Coast road trip 2-0. New York hung on to a slim 2-1 victory on the back of effective pitching and stellar defense. They’ll get a shot at their second-straight sweep, Sunday night, on national television. David Peterson was once again effective as it relates to the scoreboard. The left-handed starter once...
