Pete Alonso didn’t flip his bat after he tied the game in the ninth inning Tuesday with his 300th homer. He threw it and shouted and after he circled the bases to Citi Field cheers and “Fire Stearns” chants he took a curtain call. “It’s just crazy, how things kind of unfolded,” starter Sean Manaea (two earned runs, 5 1/3 innings) said after the Mets (69-82)...
The New York Mets were swinging a hot bat throughout their series win against the Miami Marlins. On the way to sweeping the Marlins on the road, the Mets scored a combined 31 runs. However, on the flip side, they also gave up a combined 23 runs in a series heavy on offense. The offense saved the day on Wednesday when bad pitching led to a huge blown lead, and nearly another late in the game. As...
The New York Mets snapped out of their funk by beating the Tampa Bay Rays. Having previously lost four of five and seven of their last 11 going into the Rays series, the Mets were looking to stop the skid. They did exactly that by winning two out of three. Without further ado, let’s recap everything from the three games in the latest edition of 3 Up, 3 Down… 3 UP DREAM NIGHT Nick...
The New York Mets were undone by a lack of offense in their series against the Brewers. Over the course of the three-game set, the Mets scored just five runs. In all, they were outscored 19-5 by Milwaukee. Furthermore, there was also some bad pitching with the Brewers mainly beating up on their hosts. Wins and losses don’t matter, of course, but we are starting to see the Mets come back to...
Entering Thursday night, Sean Manaea was already in a slump. He came in looking to rebound but his regression in August continued against one of baseball’s best teams. Manaea allowed six runs on eight hits over 5 2/3 innings in Thursday’s 8-2 loss against the Brewers. He walked one and struck out three, throwing 63 of his 95 pitches for strikes. Milwaukee got to him immediately....
The New York Mets suffered not one but two walk-off losses against the White Sox. Both losses were nail-biters, while the Mets’ only win of the series featured a home run explosion. Still, it was a crushing way to lose a series. Although there were plenty of positives to take from Chicago, the Mets are now 59-72 on the year. On that note, let’s recap everything from the White Sox...
Oh, those home run balls. The bullpen has been excellent since the trade deadline, but the White Sox got to it Friday when Jake Rogers hit a two-out, two-run walk-off home run off of Jefry Yan for a 6-4 victory at Rate Field. The Mets (58-71) led 4-0 through five innings and Sean Manaea was rolling, but Chicago (67-61) got to him in the sixth. He coughed up back-to-back-to-back homers to Miguel...
The New York Mets are red-hot right now. Dating back to the Trade Deadline, the Mets are a scorching 9-3. During that run, this team has been incredibly fun to watch on a near-nightly basis. That culminated in an entertaining sweep of the Nationals over the weekend. Great pitching, an even better bullpen, and some clutch hitting were the fuel behind the Mets’ second series sweep this...
Man, isn’t winning fun? The 2026 Mets should have done this all year. Saturday evening, the Mets beat the Nationals 5-4 on a Francisco Lindor walk-off to cap a ninth inning comeback. Sean Manaea was good enough to win, the Mets got 2 2/3 innings of scoreless ball out of the bullpen, and strung together some late hits to take the first two of a three game set against the Nationals. This win...
What a week that turned out to be for the New York Mets. Coming off the Trade Deadline, the new-look Mets hit the road and are currently an impressive 5-1 before opening up a series in Atlanta on Monday. After sweeping the Guardians, the Mets went into Pittsburgh and continued to be a lot of fun to watch on the way to taking two out of three from the Pirates. While wins and losses hold little...
Good morning, Mets fans! I don’t know about you, but A.J. Ewing is feeling 22. Happy birthday to him! Bo Bichette went 5-for-5 with two doubles, Luis Robert Jr. and Francisco Alvarez homered and Sean Manaea struck out a season-high 11 in an 11-1 victory Sunday over the Pirates. James Villani has more in a recap that is more magical than miserable here. The Mets (52-67) have won five of...
The New York Mets stayed hot on Sunday, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-1 at PNC Park. With the victory, New York takes the series from the Pirates and move to 5-1 on their road trip. Sean Manaea was superb and Bo Bichette was a perfect 5-for-5. Sean Manaea was quite strong once again. He threw seven strong innings allowing only one run on three hits. He did not walk a batter and struck out...
