One day after the New York Mets and their offense were held to 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position against Sonny Gray, the Mets continued their struggles with runners on base in Saturday’s 4-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Saturday was the ninth time this season they’ve been shut out. New York’s offense was held to just three hits, all singles, against Boston’s bullpen...
Brett Baty’s two-run single highlighted a five-run, eighth inning rally that helped lift the Mets to a 6-2 victory over the Royals Wednesday at Citi Field. It all started with two outs and nobody on base. Eight consecutive Mets reached base: Francisco Lindor singled, Carson Benge walked, Jorge Polanco reached on an infield single, Jared Young broke a 1-1 tie when he was hit by a pitch with...
Over the last few years we have seen a high number of relievers convert into starting pitchers with success. Recent examples include Michael King, Seth Lugo, Reynaldo López and the Mets’ very own Clay Holmes. With Christian Scott’s hip impingement, the Mets currently have two guaranteed starting pitchers in their rotation: Freddy Peralta and Nolan McLean. Sean Manaea has looked...
All wasn’t lost in Cincinnati for the New York Mets. Yes, the Mets dropped two out of three to the Reds as maddening inconsistency continues to plague this team. Losing this series in Cincinnati made the previous series win against the Braves seem moot. However, this team did show how things could be in the series finale, avoiding the sweep thanks to an ace-like performance and a...
Good morning, Mets fans! Now would be a good time for the Mets to get hot. A.J. Ewing connected for three hits, including his second homer, to raise his slash line to .267/.339/.381 as the last-place Mets took two of three from the first-place Braves with an 8-1 victory Sunday in front of 40,106 at Citi Field. Carson Benge, Bo Bichette, Juan Soto and Brett Baty each had two hits and Freddy...
For once, it was a very good weekend in New York Mets land. The Mets dominantly swept the Marlins at Citi Field. As a result, they have now won four straight while finishing the homestand 4-2. There is still a long way to go for this team to prove they have what it takes to mount a true turnaround. Still, it felt good to see this ballclub take care of business in a big way for once. On that...
Jonah Tong impressed in his MLB season debut Friday. Sean Manaea also turned in a strong outing. The two pitchers — the youngster and the vet, who throw from opposite sides of the plate — both had encouraging performances out of the bullpen in the Mets’ 2-1 loss to the Marlins on Friday at loanDepot Field. It was a peculiar pitching construction for the Mets. They went with Tobias Myers as...
It’s official – The New York Mets have the worst record in baseball once again. Despite finishing a long road trip 5-4, the Mets return home with a 15-25 record on the year. After showing some progress against Anaheim and Colorado, New York dropped two out of three to the Diamondbacks. At this point, it is fair to wonder if we’re just destined for a long, tough season full of...
The New York Mets are bad. Not the entire team — but most of it. The pitching, aside from a weak link in the rotation, has generally been pretty good. The offense has been a glaring problem. At this point, it’s time to cut bait and move on to the next generation of Mets. The Outfield It all starts with A.J. Ewing. With Luis Robert Jr. injured and without a timetable to return, Ewing should...
Nolan McLean and the New York Mets (14-23) took on the Arizona Diamondbacks (17-19), leading off their final series of a nine-game road trip. Friday night’s game kicked off a three-game set with the Diamondbacks, and behind great starting pitching from McLean and the bullpen, the Mets defeated the D-backs 3-1 in extras. After the Mets went down in order to begin the game in the first, McLean...
The New York Mets are making headlines for all the wrong reasons. After being swept by the Cubs in Chicago, the Mets have now lost 11 consecutive games and are 7-15 on the season. That’s tied for the worst record in all of baseball. Furthermore, the Mets rank last in a number of statistical categories, including the most important one: runs. They also look incompetent in almost every...
Good morning, Mets fans! How do you feel about Carlos Mendoza? The 11th loss in a row might have been the most frustrating. The Mets led 1-0 in the ninth at Wrigley Field when Michael Conforto tied the game with a pinch-hit double off Devin Williams. Nico Hoerner won the game with a walk-off sacrifice fly off Craig Kimbrel in the 10th. Lost because of the end result was that the move to start...
