He has more RBIs than Pete Alonso, more stolen bases than Francisco Lindor, as many doubles as Brandon Nimmo, and yet, he doesn’t even play every day. (Yes, it’s only April.) Tyrone Taylor, who leads the team in OPS at .869, has been all that a team could ask for in a fourth outfielder, a role the Mets have been struggling to fill for, well, awhile. The 30-year-old came to New York...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets finished up their west coast trip on Wednesday afternoon on a high note as they salvaged the last of three games against the San Francisco Giants. After taking the first two games against the Los Angeles Dodgers in impressive fashion, it seemed as though the Mets would be able to eclipse .500 during their west coast swing. However, a dormant offense which...
Francisco Lindor homered twice, Tyrone Taylor homered and doubled and Sean Manaea walked the tightrope as the New York Mets (13-11) beat the San Francisco Giants (12-14) 8-2 at Oracle Park to snap a three-game losing streak and finish their six-game West Coast trip at 3-3.

After their first scheduled off day in over two weeks, the Mets are headed on a road trip where they will take on the mighty Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-game set. Let’s be real, the Dodgers have a lot in their scouting report they need to prepare for. The great eye of Brandon Nimmo, the all-fields hitting prowess of Jeff McNeil, the power of Pete Alonso … and the .341 batting average...
Arguably the biggest takeaway to emerge from the Pirates series is the fact that the New York Mets just played really fundamentally sound baseball. They also got the basics right and handled their business on the way to clinching their first series sweep of the year. And, just like that, the Mets have won 10 of 13 and now have four consecutive series wins. New York will head to LA riding a...
The Mets and Pirates closed out their three-game series on Wednesday in an afternoon matinee in New York. Luis Severino (1-1, 2.14 ERA) took the mound for the Mets on Wednesday against Bailey Falter (1-0, 4.05 ERA) for the visiting Pirates. Severino had another impressive start for the Mets. He gave up just one run on five hits and walked three over six innings and 96 pitches thrown (61 for...
That was more like it from the New York Mets. Considering that Atlanta is normally a house of horrors for the Mets, a split of what was originally a four-game set with the Braves would have been considered a nice bonus. Instead, the Mets got a timely explosion from their offense that enabled them to absolutely beat the tar out of their NL East rivals as they took two out of three to improve to...
On Thursday afternoon, the New York Mets set out to win their first series against the Atlanta Braves since August of 2022.

We’re 10 games into the 2024 season, and the Mets’ record sits at 4-6. It’s way too early to make full assumptions of the team or any individual player. But we knew coming into the season that David Stearns’ first offseason would, for the most part, be highlighted by rounding the roster out at its fringes. Let’s check in and see how primary players Stearns brought...
Once upon a time, the Braves were off to a good start. And then it was falling apart. DJ Stewart and Brandon Nimmo with the total eclipse of Braves fans’ hearts. Stewart hit a two-run, tie-breaking home run in the eighth inning and Nimmo hit two game-tying long balls to lead the New York Mets (4-6) to a come-from-behind 8-7 victory over Atlanta (6-3) at Truist Park. The Mets have won four...
The starting rotation and the bullpen were considered to be the biggest weaknesses for the New York Mets entering the season. That has not been proven true, as the team ranks sixth in all of baseball with a 2.92 ERA. Critical mistakes in the field is what has really cost them on a handful of occasions, giving opponents additional opportunities to score. That was on full display in the...
