The Mets (12-10) traveled to San Francisco (11-13) on Monday to continue their West Coast road trip after winning two out of three against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Jose Quintana (1-2, 4.21 ERA) took the mound against righty Keaton Winn (2-3, 3.54), but Quintana’s early season struggles with command continued, and it allowed the Giants to coast to a 5-2 win. Quintana entered the day with...
The Mets entered the second half of the season with a Friday night matchup against the Dodgers, looking to put their first half of the season behind them. Needing to win now with the trade deadline just weeks away, the Mets looked as flat as could be and dropped the game 6-0 to fall to 42-49. After Julio Urías gave up a leadoff double to Brandon Nimmo that was initially ruled a home run but...
Good morning, Mets fans! During Friday night’s game, Brandon Nimmo recorded a stat line that has only been achieved four other times since 1901. He went 2-for-2 with two triples and three walks which, before he did it on Friday night, hadn’t been done since 2010 when both Shane Victorino and Dexter Fowler put up the same stat line. Mike Schmidt also did it in 1977. With his...
After an off day on Thursday, the Mets began their west coast trip with a game against the Oakland A’s late Friday night. Kodai Senga, who has impressed through his first two starts, took the mound for the Mets, while James Kaprielian, who has struggled through his first two starts, took the mound for the A’s. The Mets were able to win this one comfortably by a score of 17-6, as they...
The New York Mets (9-13) took home a 3-2 loss on Monday evening against the Washington Nationals (11-9). Overall, the game lacked offensive effort, as the team put up just two runs on seven hits and struck out 10 times. Despite Justin Verlander’s shaky start, the bullpen showed promising signs as four relievers combined to allow just one run on one hit with nine strikeouts, and battled...
Despite the impressive power numbers during the regular season and the strong overall performance in the Dominican Winter League, Mets prospect Ronny Mauricio still hasn’t answered the most important question about his offense of whether he’s going to improve his swing decisions. Mauricio had a sub .300 OBP in 2021 and then again in 2022 with his highest walk rate between the two...
Mets fans likely remember how good Taijuan Walker was in the first half last year, and then how bad he was in the second half. To those fans, this season probably feels like a similar story. Walker has once again had a strong opening half of the season, posting an ERA below 3.00 in 13 starts. The obvious question going into the remainder of the season is whether he can keep up this success, or...
